Starting in 2011 with 700 servings of samgyetang, the event has grown in scale over the years, and this year provided samgyetang worth 16 million KRW. A total of 2,000 servings of samgyetang were prepared on the day, of which 800 servings were directly delivered to the homes of vulnerable senior citizens who had difficulty visiting the welfare center.
At the event, NS Home Shopping CEO Jo Hangmok and 20 employees participated as volunteers, personally serving samgyetang to the seniors who visited the welfare center. After serving, they packed samgyetang and snacks to deliver to seniors with mobility difficulties.
NS Home Shopping CEO Jo Hangmok said, "We prepared samgyetang, a representative health food, to care for the health of local seniors during the rainy season and the hottest days of summer." He added, "As a trusted shopping platform, NS Home Shopping will continue to fulfill its corporate social responsibility to grow together with our society."
