The Gwangju Community Chest of Korea (hereinafter referred to as Gwangju Sarangui Yeolmae) announced on December 9 that it has signed a regular sponsorship agreement with Bongyi Mobile.

The signing ceremony took place on the afternoon of December 8 at the Bongyi Mobile Gwangju Sangmu branch, attended by CEO Kim Gwangjae, Park Heungcheol, Secretary-General of Gwangju Sarangui Yeolmae, and other officials. Bongyi Mobile has pledged to donate a total of 25.2 million won to support underprivileged groups in the Gwangju area in 2026.

Bongyi Mobile and its parent company, Pioneer Company, are regionally based telecommunications specialists that have shown steady growth, recording annual sales of 77,000 units and revenue of 66 billion won as of 2024, thereby establishing a stable position in the industry. Building on its experience operating stores in Gwangju, the company has expanded into Seoul and the metropolitan area, and has implemented innovative business strategies, including being selected as Samsung Electronics’ first nationwide business partner. This business competitiveness has provided a foundation for the company to continuously engage in community sharing activities.

The donated funds will be used through the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea to support urgent welfare projects for local residents in need, including assistance with living expenses, education, and medical care.

CEO Kim Gwangjae stated, "We decided to become a regular sponsor to share the love we have received with the local community," adding, "I especially hope that this practical support will help people not lose hope in difficult times. We will continue to grow together with the region."

Park Heungcheol, Secretary-General of Gwangju Sarangui Yeolmae, said, "The warm generosity of Bongyi Mobile is a great help in addressing welfare blind spots in the community," and added, "We will manage these valuable donations responsibly and transparently to ensure they are used where they are most needed."
