Busan City (Mayor Park Hyungjun) held a donation ceremony on the 13th in collaboration with Busan Transportation Corporation and Beautiful Store to support low-income single-parent families.


The event was attended by Lee Joonseung, Deputy Mayor for Administrative Affairs of Busan City; Lee Byungjin, President of Busan Transportation Corporation; Jang Yoonkyung, Executive Director of Beautiful Store; and Park Sunghwan, Co-Director of Beautiful Store Busan Headquarters.


Busan Transportation Corporation and Beautiful Store donated 50 million won, raised through a joint fundraising campaign, to improve the living conditions at single-parent family welfare facilities. The donation will be used primarily for renovating bathrooms in 16 out of 32 units with the highest level of deterioration at Cheonghakmojawon in Yeongdo-gu, through Beautiful Store.


Since 2006, Busan Transportation Corporation has provided the 'Beautiful Store Myeongnyun Station Branch' inside Myeongnyun subway station as a social contribution project with free rent. Beautiful Store has used a portion of the sales proceeds to support vulnerable groups, and the two organizations continue to engage in various charitable activities, including emergency living support for low-income residents and sponsorship of child welfare facilities in the region.


The city operates and supports single-parent family welfare facilities to promote the self-reliance of single-parent families. These facilities are available to single-parent families with children under the age of 18, who have no home ownership and whose income is at or below 100% of the median income. The city also strengthens the foundation for self-reliance by providing settlement funds and connecting former residents with rental housing support from Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH).



Lee Joonseung, Deputy Mayor for Administrative Affairs, stated, "The donation from Busan Transportation Corporation and Beautiful Store will help provide a safe and pleasant living environment for low-income single-parent families residing in the facilities with their minor children. The city will continue to enhance single-parent family welfare facilities and actively support single-parent families so that they can live stably and achieve self-reliance."
