[Joining the Harumanbo Harucheonja Exercise] Il-su Lee, President of the Korean Medical Association

Hello. I am Pilsoo Lee, President of the Korean Medical Association.

I sincerely welcome the Asia Economy’s ‘Harumanbo Harucheonja’ campaign, held to contribute to the health promotion of individuals, families, society, and the nation.

In the face of a super-aged society and the era of centenarians, brain health is the greatest issue for our people. Especially for modern people exposed to frequent stress, lack of sleep, drinking, and smoking, brain health is a very important factor in enjoying a healthy life.

Regular walking and writing not only slow brain aging but are also fundamental activities to ensure a healthy old age; however, they can be challenging tasks for modern people living busy lives.

Starting with this campaign, I hope that our people, who value quality of life, can enjoy a healthier centenarian era.

I sincerely hope that the purpose of this campaign spreads further so that all citizens can lead healthy daily lives. The Korean Medical Association, as a healthcare professional organization, will fulfill its social responsibilities and put even more active interest and effort into getting closer to the people.

Once again, I wish the Asia Economy’s campaign to be successfully carried out. Thank you.

The ‘Harumanbo Harucheonja’ movement is the most cost-effective and wise exercise to protect yourself and your family.
