In anticipation of the March 1st Independence Movement Day, KT&G (CEO Baek Bok-In) conducted a cemetery beautification activity at the Daejeon National Cemetery on the 28th to honor the spirit of sacrifice of the patriots and to reflect on the significance of the independence movement.

On this day, around 20 KT&G employees and executives visited the independence activists' section at the Daejeon National Cemetery, commencing their volunteer activities with a moment of silence. The volunteer group engaged in beautification activities around the cemetery, including weeding, trash collection, and cleaning the grave markers, thereby honoring the contributions of the independence activists and fostering a spirit of patriotism.

Additionally, in celebration of the March 1st Independence Movement Day, KT&G installed large Taegeukgi (Korean national flag) banners and pinwheels at KT&G Sangsang Madang Nonsan and Chuncheon, further commemorating the day's significance.

KGC Ginseng Corporation, a subsidiary of KT&G, continues to support independence activists and their descendants by donating health products, including red ginseng.
