KT&G (CEO: Bok-in Baek) donated 80 million Korean won to the ROK Army for the construction of a “glamping site” for officers, soldiers and their families on July 6.

General Yong-woo Kim, Chief of Staff of the Republic of Korea Army said, “I appreciate the support and attention. The glamping site will help the soldiers with training, relaxation and work & life balance as well.”.

A related person of KT&G said, “Hopefully the donation may boost solders’ morale by providing an opportunity to get recharged in nature with their family.

KT&G has supported the military with various programs including ‘Military Defense TV Train’, ‘Military Defense Startup Challenge – a startup support program for soldiers’ for the improvement of their military life and careers after their military service.
