Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will hold a donation ceremony for the “Busan-Style Habitat Challenge” today (27th) at 4:00 PM in the International Protocol Room at City Hall, together with BNK Busan Bank (President Kim Sung-ju) and the Busan Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Lee Soo-tae).

Attendees at the ceremony will include the Director General of the Social Welfare Bureau of the City, Executive Director Jang In-ho of BNK Busan Bank, Branch Manager Ahn Hyeong-mo of the City Hall branch, and Secretary General Park Sun-uk of the Busan Community Chest of Korea.

At the ceremony, BNK Busan Bank will donate KRW 30 million to support low-income elderly residents in the Busan area.

Under its management principle of reinvesting profits earned from the region back into the community, BNK Busan Bank spent KRW 59.9 billion on social contribution activities in 2024.

In addition to this donation, the bank plans to continue various forms of sharing and support activities for vulnerable groups in Busan.

The donated KRW 30 million will be used for the “Busan-Style Habitat Challenge” project.

The “Busan-Style Habitat Challenge” is a housing renovation initiative modeled after the “Ice Bucket Challenge,” focusing on home improvement. It aims to remodel aging homes of elderly households into safe and convenient living spaces tailored to the needs of seniors. Starting with KB Kookmin Bank as the first participant, the donation relay has continued with contributions from Dongil Co., Ltd., BTS member Jimin, Suyeongro Church, Deutsche Motors Co., Ltd., and Korea Housing Finance Corporation, all sharing the goal of transforming living spaces for low-income elderly residents into customized environments.

The City recognizes poor housing conditions among the elderly as a community-wide issue and plans to continue identifying socially responsible companies, organizations, and individuals to sustain the donation relay.

Jang In-ho, Executive Director of BNK Busan Bank, stated, “We are pleased to contribute to the Busan-Style Habitat Challenge, which provides essential support to elderly individuals in vulnerable groups.”

Jeong Tae-gi, Director General of the City’s Social Welfare Bureau, said, “We sincerely appreciate BNK Busan Bank for its warm interest and generosity toward elderly residents in our region. The donation will be used meaningfully to support those in need so they can maintain healthy daily lives alongside the implementation of integrated care.”
