On that day, eight representatives of Korail Distribution’s executives and employees visited Hoengsan-ri Village and sponsored daily necessities worth approximately 1 million won to a total of 25 households. They also held a meeting to discuss issues such as regional extinction caused by population decline and support measures for agricultural product distribution channels, aiming for mutual development.

This social contribution activity was promoted to achieve balanced development between urban and rural areas, raise awareness of rural areas residing in the Demilitarized Zone, and fulfill the social responsibility of public institutions through sharing management.

Since establishing the One Company One Village sisterhood with Hoengsan-ri Village in May 2019, Korail Distribution has continued exchanges such as providing scholarships for nurturing village talents and supporting supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lee Gwang-jin, Head of Management at Korail Distribution, said, "I am glad to be able to contribute even a small amount of sincerity to the residents of Hoengsan-ri Village," adding, "We will continue to promote exchange activities that can help local communities and carry out various social contribution activities for mutual growth."

Meanwhile, Korail Distribution plans to steadily carry out social contribution activities by sponsoring goods to Chori Village in Muju-gun, Jeonbuk Province, another sister village, in the second half of the year.
