Governor Gong Young-min said, “Sharing is the hope for the future and the love that brightens the world,” adding, “I will strive to practice love for neighbors through continuous sharing for those in need and support efforts to create a happier world through sharing.”

Following Gong Young-min as Goheung Sharing Leader No. 1, Kim Hyun-joo, CEO of the agricultural corporation Farm En Builder, was named Sharing Leader No. 2.

CEO Kim Hyun-joo stated, “Giving and sharing make the giver happier than the receiver,” and added, “I wanted to contribute even a little to the spread of sharing and donation culture.”

Sharing Leaders pledge to donate 1 million KRW within one year and carry out their donations. The funds are used for the ‘Our Neighborhood Welfare Mobile Unit Project,’ which alleviates daily inconveniences of socially vulnerable groups in the Jeonnam region and supports households in crisis.
