Jung Ki-sun, President of HD Hyundai, encouraged employees during his visit to local subsidiaries in Alabama while on a trip to the United States.

On the 30th, HD Hyundai announced that President Jung visited HD Hyundai Electric's transformer plant in Montgomery, Alabama, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, HD Hyundai Infracore, and HD Hyundai Electric subsidiaries in Atlanta, Georgia, to inspect the sites and hold meetings with employees.

President Jung confirmed that six family members of Korean War veterans are working at the HD Hyundai Electric transformer plant and met with them to express his gratitude and respect. After the meeting, he also made a surprise proposal to invite these employees to Korea.

President Jung said, "As the CEO of a defense company, I have always been grateful for the courage and sacrifice of the veterans," adding, "I hope this will be an opportunity to show them the advanced development of the Republic of Korea, which they protected at the risk of their lives."
