At the donation ceremony, Lee Yong-jae, Chairman of the Jeonnam Provincial Council, attended and emphasized the significance of cooperation with the local community and corporate public interest projects.

Considering that coexistence with COVID-19 is inevitable in the future, today’s hand sanitizer donation is like a ray of refreshing rain.”
