The Lotte Foundation announced on May 21 that it held the 2025 Shin Kyukho Lotte Charity Concert at the Modu Arts Theater in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, where people with and without disabilities came together.

This charity concert, hosted by the Lotte Foundation for the first time this year, was organized to provide a platform for artists with disabilities and those without to communicate through art on stage, to deepen mutual understanding, and to positively raise social awareness of disabilities.

The event, held the previous day, was conducted in two parts. Part 1, titled "Harmony Gazing at the Stars," featured a variety of performances by artists with disabilities, including wheelchair dance, vocal performances by artists with visual and physical disabilities, and prosthetic breakdancing. These performances showcased the artists' skills honed over time and allowed them to interact with the audience.

In Part 2, "Lotte Foundation Message of Hope," employees from Lotte Group affiliates such as Lotte Duty Free and Lotte Innovate, as well as Lotte Foundation staff and scholarship recipients, presented performances they had prepared together. Each interpreted the theme of "hope" in their own way, delivering both heartfelt emotion and joyful energy to the audience through their diverse performances.

The charity concert was attended by Shin Youngja, Chairperson of the Lotte Foundation, Jang Hyesun, President of the Foundation, as well as former CEOs of Lotte Group affiliates and other distinguished guests. President Jang stated, "We will continue to provide various support and make ongoing efforts for people with disabilities in the future."
