Yuhan Corporation Launches Historical Materials Collection Campaign for Its 100th Anniversary Records

Submission of pre-2000 photos and documents related to Dr. Ilhan New and the company accepted until the 27th

Yuhan Corporation announced on the 4th that, to mark the 100th anniversary of its founding, it will carry out a historical materials collection campaign to document the footsteps of Yuhan Corporation, which has walked alongside the modern and contemporary history of the Republic of Korea.

This campaign has been prepared to systematically restore the 100-year history of founder Dr. Ilhan New and Yuhan Corporation, and to complete the story of Yuhan that remains in the memories of the people, going beyond a mere corporate record.

The materials to be collected are historical items produced or used before 2000, including photos, documents, books, artifacts (products, souvenirs, etc.), and other materials related to Dr. Ilhan New and Yuhan Corporation. Submissions will be widely accepted, ranging from everyday records kept by individuals to materials of historical significance.

Applications will be accepted until February 27, 2026, and participants can take part online or via text message. Applicants simply need to submit a photo of the material along with a brief description.

After the submission deadline, an internal review will be conducted on the submitted materials, comprehensively considering their historical value, preservation status, and potential for use. The selected items will then be used in various ways, including in the Yuhan Corporation 100th anniversary archive and exhibitions, as well as in content production. Further details and information on how to participate in the campaign can be found on Yuhan Corporation's official website and via the QR code.

A company representative said, "The 100 years of Yuhan Corporation represent more than the history of a single company; they are a period during which we have put into practice the values of social responsibility and trust," adding, "Through this historical materials collection campaign, we hope to look back on Yuhan's history together with the public and leave meaningful records for the next 100 years."

Since its establishment in 1926 by Dr. Ilhan New, Yuhan Corporation has led the pharmaceutical industry of the Republic of Korea based on its founding philosophy of "producing the best products, paying taxes faithfully, and returning corporate profits to society." To mark its 100th anniversary this year, the company is pursuing a variety of commemorative projects.
