:D-Style Walking is a non-face-to-face walking donation campaign that donates the steps of Dong-A Socio Holdings employees to places in need of help.

A total of 891 employees participated in the campaign during April, achieving a total of 15 million steps.

The donation will be used to support residents affected by the wildfires in the Gangwon and Gyeongbuk regions that occurred in March, as well as firefighters in Gangwon Province. A Dong-A Socio Group official said, “We hope this donation will provide some help to the affected residents,” adding, “Dong-A Socio Group plans to continue the campaign in summer and autumn to deliver campaign donations to places in need.”
