Cheongnyeon Bapsang Mungan, well known as a good store, is a social cooperative that offers kimchi stew at an affordable price of 3,000 KRW to young people skipping meals in this era of high prices. Currently, it operates a total of five stores. Daesang plans to support about 21 tons of 'Jongga Traditional Taste Kimchi' for use in Cheongnyeon Bapsang Mungan's kimchi stew through the 'Cheongnyeon Bapsang Jongga Kimchi Sharing' project by the second half of this year.

Kim Kyung-sook, Head of Daesang ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) Management, said, "We decided to donate Jongga Kimchi to Cheongnyeon Bapsang Mungan to support the healthy eating habits of young people who will lead the future," adding, "We will continue to take the lead in practicing ESG management by carrying out various sharing activities for neighbors in need."
