Norangpungseon announced the successful completion of the 'Creating Dreams for Families of Firefighting Heroes' event held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Norangpungseon's Dream Making is an annual social contribution activity that fully supports travel expenses for those with relatively little overseas travel experience. This time, six families totaling 13 people, including children and guardians of fallen firefighters, were selected as participants in collaboration with the Sunhyun Foundation. They spent meaningful time visiting various landmarks such as the Mari Mari Cultural Village, where they experienced traditional Malaysian houses and culture; snorkeling at the beautiful marine park Tunku Abdul Rahman in Kota Kinabalu; a sunset and firefly tour on a luxury yacht; as well as Islamic mosques, Sabah State Secretariat, and Jesselton Point. Norangpungseon plans to increase the number of Dream Making events starting this year to offer travel opportunities to more underprivileged neighbors.
