Encouraging Social Contribution Activities Including Creation of Eco-Friendly Community Living Facilities by Gyeongnam Bank
An opening ceremony was held for the Hwangtotgil path created by Gyeongnam Bank to promote the health of local residents at Samhocheon in Masanhwoin-gu, Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam.
About 100 people, including Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, National Assembly member Yoon Han-hong, Gyeongnam Bank President Ye Kyung-tak, Gyeongnam Bank employees, and local residents, attended the opening ceremony held on the 19th, where they installed a guide sign and celebrated the opening of the Hwangtotgil path.
BNK Gyeongnam Bank responded to requests from nearby residents to create the Hwangtotgil path by laying masato (sand soil) and hwangto (yellow soil) from the 15th to the 18th, and using fixing hardware and PP ropes to create a 300-meter waterfront Hwangtotgil path along the side of Seokjeon-dong Administrative Welfare Center.
Before the event, President Ye Kyung-tak and employees walked on the Todakgil path, evenly compacting the yellow soil.
On that day, President Ye Kyung-tak, National Assembly member Yoon Han-hong, and Mayor Hong Nampyo of Changwon held shovels and filled soil at the base of the Todakgil guide sign.
Afterwards, about 100 attendees took commemorative photos in front of the Todakgil guide sign and celebrated the opening by walking along the Todakgil path.
Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “I appreciate the hard work of BNK Gyeongnam Bank employees who continuously strive for the development of the local community. We will manage this space so that it provides healthy living and leisure for the citizens of Changwon.”
President Ye Kyung-tak said, “The Todakgil path is a Hwangtotgil path created to promote the health of local residents. Previously, the Todakgil path created at Sanhocheon through the ‘BNK Social Contribution Day, Love Sharing Volunteer Activity’ in April has received much love from local residents. This Samhocheon Todakgil path was opened reflecting strong requests from nearby residents. BNK Gyeongnam Bank plans to continuously plan and promote social contribution activities that are truly needed by local residents and can be carried out in communication with them, like the Hwangtotgil paths created throughout the region.”
He added, “As the barefoot walking craze continues to be very popular nationwide, I hope the Samhocheon Todakgil path becomes a famous spot visited by more local residents. I hope many local residents walk barefoot along the Samhocheon waterfront, exercising and resting.”
