At the donation ceremony, Ahn Jeong-tae, Executive Director of Aekyung Industrial, said, "In celebration of International Women's Day, we decided to provide this support to offer a small help to young women in Seoul preparing for independence," adding, "Going forward, Chiyubi will deeply empathize with social issues according to the values pursued by the brand and will make every effort to solve them together."
