Some of the children who received the gifts sent reply letters. Kim Minjae, son of Kim Donggyu, a senior researcher at the Technology Research Institute, wrote, "I'm so excited to go to school with my new backpack, which I bought with the card you sent me." Lotte Construction selected 10 children from among those who sent replies and arranged a meeting for their parents to meet CEO Oh in person. During the meal, employees discussed the challenges of raising children and the company's welfare policies with the CEO.


At the event, CEO Oh personally selected and presented a grand prize to one child and excellence awards to two others, providing them with Lotte Resort accommodation vouchers and dining vouchers for Lotte affiliates.



A Lotte Construction representative said, "We are conducting various policy studies to create the best work environment that enables a balance between work and family." Lotte Construction currently implements a mandatory paternity leave policy that requires male employees to take parental leave, as well as a flexible work system that allows employees to adjust their commuting hours.
