The donated work is "Apple I" by artist Kim Jonghan, a high-quality photograph of a single apple taken using special lighting, valued at approximately 2.7 million KRW.
This piece is considered to be in line with the image of Cheongsong, the nation's top apple-producing region, and the donated photograph is scheduled to be displayed in the Future Hall of the Cheongsong Golden Apple Research Complex.
Kim Youngseop, the donor and CEO, is originally from Jigyong-ri, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong County, and has contributed to the development of Cheongsong as the former president of the Cheongsong County Association in Daegu. Last year, he also donated 300 electric fans to local senior centers, consistently spreading positive influence.
Kim Youngseop explained his reason for the donation, saying, "The moment I first saw the piece, I was reminded of Cheongsong apples, a specialty of my hometown, and I decided to donate it in hopes that it would be used as a resource to widely promote the excellence of Cheongsong apples in the future."
Governor Yoon Kyunghee stated, "I deeply thank Kim Youngseop, CEO of Dongjin Communication, for donating such a valuable work without compensation for the development of Cheongsong County," and added, "I expect the donated artwork will greatly help promote Cheongsong apples."
