Visiting Bujeon Market in Busanjin-gu
Putting 'Coexistence Management' into Practice

On the occasion of its 14th anniversary, the management of BNK Financial Group visited Bujeon Market in Busanjin-gu on the morning of the 14th instead of holding a commemorative event. BNK Financial explained that this was an on-site management effort to support local small business owners and self-employed individuals struggling due to the economic downturn.

Seventeen group executives, including Bindaein, Chairman of BNK Financial Group, the President of Busan Bank, and the President-designate of Gyeongnam Bank, visited Bujeon Market to hold the event titled "A New Spring, Revitalizing the Local Economy." The event was organized to invigorate the local commercial district through the purchase of traditional market products and advance payments at restaurants. Four restaurants located in Bujeon Market that received advance payments held free meal events for market merchants and customers on the day.

Meanwhile, BNK Financial Group also held a donation ceremony to deliver 30 million KRW to the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region. These funds will be used to purchase children's supplies for childcare facilities in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam area and will be entirely spent at traditional markets in the region.

In its 14th anniversary commemorative speech, BNK Financial Group emphasized the fundamental role of regional finance. BNK Financial stated that it must serve as a pillar and a new growth foothold for the local economy amid the crisis of regional extinction. The group reiterated the importance of playing a central role in the regional economy by expanding financial support to local businesses and continuously promoting win-win finance to help youth and vulnerable groups achieve self-reliance.

A BNK Financial Group official said, "We believe that providing practical support to small business owners and self-employed individuals in difficult local areas is meaningful in reaffirming the founding of BNK Financial Group and our reason for existence," adding, "We will continue to do our best to ensure that our sincere commitment to always being by the side of the region and our customers is well conveyed."
