The Community Chest of Korea Gyeongbuk Branch (Chairman Jeon Wooheon) held an induction ceremony for Honor Society membership for Chairperson Sangjoo An of the Sangju City Council at Sangju City Hall on April 22, 2026.

The ceremony was attended by Chairperson Sangjoo An of the Sangju City Council, Acting Mayor Sangcheol Oh of Sangju, Byungil Son, Secretary General of the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea, and Kyeongho Cheon, Secretary General of the Sangju Community Chest Love Volunteer Group, among others, who celebrated the induction of a new Honor Society member.

Chairperson Sangjoo An became the 203rd Honor Society member in Gyeongbuk and the 8th in Sangju, and has consistently demonstrated dedication to the community through various legislative activities and social contributions aimed at advancing the local community and improving citizens' welfare.

In particular, as the first Honor Society member from Sangju in 2026 and the first female Honor Society member in Gyeongbuk, her induction serves as a symbolic example of fostering a culture of sharing in the region.

Chairperson Sangjoo An stated, "I decided to join the Honor Society to give back, even in a small way, for the love and support I have received from the community during my time as a council member. Going forward, I will strive to encourage more citizens to participate in sharing as an ambassador of giving."

Byungil Son, Secretary General of the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea, said, "I deeply appreciate the Chairperson's commitment to sharing, as she has always communicated closely with citizens and devoted herself to the community. I hope her induction will serve as an opportunity to expand participation in sharing throughout Sangju."

The Honor Society is a group of high-value individual donors who have either donated more than 100 million won or pledged to do so within five years.
