Woori Financial Group delivered a 500 million won fund to support soldiers who died or were injured in service and their families.

Woori Financial Group's Woori Financial Future Foundation visited the Army, Navy and Air Force headquarters at Gyeryongdae in South Chungcheong Province on Nov. 5 and delivered 500 million won for the "Soldier Woori Hero Fund," it said on Nov. 9.

This year, it expanded the scope of support based on a business agreement signed with the Ministry of National Defense in June. It increased support for families as well as for medical treatment, rehabilitation and living expenses for soldiers killed or injured in service. The expanded support includes scholarships for children and growth-related items.

Woori Financial also runs the Woori Hero support programme for police officers and firefighters, as well as soldiers.

Lim Jong-ryong (임종룡), chairman of the Woori Financial Future Foundation, said, "We will continue to work closely with related agencies and be a solid support so that uniformed heroes and their families can live with pride."
