Grand Korea Leisure (GKL, CEO Yoon Doohyun) and the GKL Social Contribution Foundation (Chairman Lee Jaekyung) successfully held the "Our Family Healing Trip" for families of brain-dead organ donors in collaboration with the Korea Organ Donation Agency (Chairman Park Jintak) from May 23 (Friday) to May 25 (Sunday), a two-night, three-day event in the Suncheon and Yeosu areas of Jeollanam-do.

This trip was organized to honor the noble intentions of the deceased who shared life through organ donation, and to offer comfort and rest to their bereaved families. A total of 33 families of brain-dead organ donors from across the country participated.

The first day began with a tour of Naganeupseong Fortress in Suncheon, followed by visits to Suncheonman Wetland and Suncheonman National Garden, focusing on spaces where ecology and culture are intertwined. In the evening, a moving garden concert by the local musician "Heo Yoonjeong Trio" was held, providing a warm stage of comfort where nature and music came together.

On the second day, the program included a visit to Odongdo Island in Yeosu, an experience on the marine cable car, and a terrarium-making healing program, offering mental and physical comfort to the families. In the evening, a talk concert was held featuring Oh Sujin, a weathercaster and organ transplant recipient, who shared her sincere story. This session, which conveyed the value and gratitude of sharing life from the recipient's perspective, deeply moved and resonated with the families.

On the final day, the trip concluded with a forest walk and wild tea experience at Seonamsa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Participants shared that "spending time with warm-hearted people while reflecting once again on the wishes of the deceased was a great comfort."

Lee Jaekyung, Chairman of the GKL Social Contribution Foundation, stated, "It is our foundation's role to ensure that the families of those who shared love are not left alone," adding, "I hope this trip provided small but profound comfort to the bereaved families."

This event was hosted by the GKL Social Contribution Foundation and operated by Chakhan Travel Co., Ltd., ensuring a warm and safe experience. The foundation plans to continue its commitment to healing and mutually supportive social contribution programs in the future.
