Kangwon Land (Acting CEO Nam Han-gyu) announced on April 28 that it signed a mutual cooperation business agreement on April 27 at the headquarters of the Korea Road Traffic Authority in Wonju with the Korea Road Traffic Authority, Mungyeong Leisure Town, and Black Valley Country Club to prevent electric cart safety accidents at golf courses.

The signing ceremony was attended by Youngshin Park, Head of Shared Growth Office at Kangwon Land; Seokyong Jang, Director of Future Talent Education at the Korea Road Traffic Authority; Kyungyeon Lee, Head of Management at Mungyeong Leisure Town; and Kangsam Kim, Operations Director at Black Valley Country Club, among other stakeholders.

This agreement aims to introduce the Korea Road Traffic Authority’s “Safe Driving Certification System” at the golf courses of Kangwon Land’s investee companies, Mungyeong Leisure Town and Black Valley Country Club. The goal is to prevent electric cart safety accidents involving caddies and others responsible for driving electric carts, and to enhance the overall level of traffic safety management within the golf courses.

Since August 2024, High1 CC, operated by Kangwon Land, has implemented the Korea Road Traffic Authority’s Safe Driving Certification Program for caddies, carrying out a total of eight steps: safety operation diagnosis, driving behavior assessment, safety driving education, on-site inspections, and facility improvement implementation, among others.

As a result, High1 CC achieved excellent results in four areas, including advanced safety driving education and traffic accident rate, and in June last year became the first resort and golf course in Korea to receive the “highest” grade in the Safe Driving Certification System from the Korea Road Traffic Authority.

During the process of promoting this agreement, Kangwon Land served as a bridge to facilitate the establishment of a cooperative system between the Korea Road Traffic Authority and its investee companies, leveraging its experience in operating the Safe Driving Certification System.

Based on the agreement, Mungyeong Leisure Town and Black Valley Country Club will establish the foundation for introducing the Safe Driving Certification System tailored to each golf course’s operating conditions, and will strengthen the electric cart safety management system.

Youngshin Park, Head of Shared Growth Office at Kangwon Land, stated, "We will continue to work closely with the Korea Road Traffic Authority and our investee companies to ensure that Kangwon Land’s experience operating the Safe Driving Certification System leads to enhanced safety management systems at our subsidiaries’ golf courses."
