On the 8th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety held the "5th Korea Good Giving Awards Ceremony" at the Korea Advertising Culture Hall in Seoul and announced that it had awarded a total of 20 commendations, including Presidential Commendations, to seven individuals and 13 companies/organizations. The Korea Good Giving Awards were established to discover and recognize companies, organizations, and individuals who have consistently practiced sharing activities, thereby spreading a culture of solidarity and consideration and promoting the growth of donation culture.
This year's Presidential Commendation was awarded to BTS, who helped spread a culture of sharing through the global donation campaign "Love Myself," and to Samsung Electronics, which has systematically supported the independence of youths leaving state care based on employee participation. Since 2017, BTS has worked with the United Nations (UN) to continue activities aimed at preventing violence against children and teenagers and increasing awareness of mental health, contributing to welfare services and psychological counseling support for victims of violence in 155 countries.
