The Autumn Empathy Bulletin Board, displayed on the exterior wall of BNK Kyongnam Bank’s headquarters, features an excerpt from poet Seo Jeongju’s poem "Chuilmieum": "Persimmons are bitter water, cockscombs are red water, what color has this autumn day dyed me?" The board is decorated with images of a clear sky, vibrant cockscombs, and ripe persimmons, evoking the essence of autumn.


The message encourages people to take time to reflect on their lives as they approach autumn, the season of harvest when fruits and grains ripen.


Every quarter, BNK Kyongnam Bank selects phrases that offer encouragement, comfort, and hope to the local community and residents, and displays them on the Empathy Bulletin Board.


Choi Dae-sik, Head of the Social Contribution and Public Relations Department, said, "With the season of vibrant colors approaching, we created this Empathy Bulletin Board using phrases and images that inspire contemplation on autumn days. We hope that many local residents who see the board will take a meaningful moment to pause from their busy routines and reflect on their own lives. We plan to continue the 'Empathy Bulletin Board Project' to deliver messages of hope to the community in the future."



Previously, BNK Kyongnam Bank displayed the "2025 Summer Empathy Bulletin Board" with the phrase, "Love is when two people share one umbrella, even if one shoulder gets wet," conveying to the community the message that unconditional love can be felt through self-sacrifice.
