This event is a group-wide family-friendly program that has been ongoing since 2022. It has continued to operate in the same way even after the group was split in 2023 and is being carried out in connection with the "Leave for Caring for Children Entering Elementary School" system. Dongkuk Steel Group guarantees employees with children about to enter elementary school a minimum of 2 days and up to 5 days of leave per child so that they can accompany their children on their first day of school.

Each affiliate prepared the gifts by reflecting employees' opinions. Dongkuk Steel delivered a set of a lightweight picnic backpack and a cooler bag, along with a letter of encouragement from the CEO, to 49 employees' children who are scheduled to enter elementary school. In his letter, President Choi Samyoung wrote, "I sincerely congratulate you on entering school," and added, "I hope you stay healthy and happy as you embark on this new beginning."

Dongkuk CM delivered children's carriers and automatic pencil sharpeners, together with a congratulatory letter from President Park Sanghoon, to 45 children who are scheduled to enter school. President Park Sanghoon said, "I hope every day you go to school will be as fun as going on a picnic," and added, "I wholeheartedly support you as you enter elementary school."

The holding company Dongkuk Holdings also conveyed its congratulations by presenting sneakers, automatic pencil sharpeners, and other gifts to the employees' children concerned.

Dongkuk Steel Group plans to continue expanding its welfare programs that support employees in balancing work and family life.
