On May 21, Kumho Tire announced that it has organized a volunteer group to visit nearby apartments and other locations to carry out cleaning activities through May 23.

The volunteer group consists of five teams, each with seven members, for a total of 35 employees. Each team will focus on cleaning playgrounds, pavilions, and outdoor rest areas (benches) around apartments and daycare centers near the Gwangju factory, as well as picking up trash in the surrounding areas.

In addition, if necessary or upon request, the company plans to carry out further environmental clean-up activities in cooperation with relevant parties. Kumho Tire also intends to identify additional locations beyond those already planned and expand the size of the volunteer group, as well as the schedule and locations for volunteer activities. Since the previous day, Kumho Tire has been using water trucks to clean the streets around the Gwangju factory for a month.

A Kumho Tire representative stated, "We sincerely apologize to the residents affected by the fire at the Gwangju factory," and added, "We will do our utmost to help restore daily life."
