Booyoung Group said on the 22nd that it has signed a sister-unit partnership agreement with the Army's Capital Defense Command and delivered care packages to its troops.
The group signed the agreement at the command's main building the previous day and handed over snack gift sets to encourage soldiers serving ahead of the Chuseok holiday. Booyoung delivers holiday gifts to six units in total, including the Capital Defense Command, with which it has maintained a sister-unit partnership since 2000, as well as the Army's 1st Corps, 22nd Division and 25th Division and the Air Force's Air Defense and Control Command and Missile Defense Command.
In a letter, Booyoung Group Chairman Lee Joong-keun said, "I am grateful for the devotion and sacrifice of the commanders and soldiers of the Capital Defense Command, who work day and night for the safety of the country and its people."
Booyoung has been active in veterans-related support, donating 10 billion won to the Air Force's Sky Love Scholarship Foundation and 2.8 billion won to improve facilities at remote units, and joining the "One Company, One Barracks" campaign. Beyond such patriotic and veterans programs, the group has carried out social contribution activities in a range of fields at home and abroad, donating a total of 1.22 trillion won to date as part of what it describes as model ESG management. The chairman has personally donated 268 billion won.
