The Community Chest of Korea announced that Kim Jong-hun, an employee at SK Hynix, has donated 100 million won and joined the "Honor Society," a group for individual high-value donors, as its 3,958th member (400th in Gyeonggi Province).
The induction ceremony, held at the Gyeonggi branch of the Community Chest of Korea this afternoon (June 18), was attended by Kim, his family, and Kwon In-wook, Chairman of the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea.
"I have been working intensely at SK Hynix, participating in creating the future, and I have received undeserved happiness thanks to the growth of the AI semiconductor industry and the company's achievements," Kim said. "I wanted to practice sharing by extending the fruits of that technology to society to warmly brighten the future of our neighbors."
He added, "I didn't hesitate to decide on the donation because I felt I was already enjoying enough for what I need."
Kim, who has participated in various volunteer activities since his school days, shared that he had a chance to reflect on his life following in-house training last year.
Kim also expressed his hope, saying, "I hope that the development of AI and semiconductor technology will lead to opportunities and hope for more people, creating a society where no one is left behind."
The Honor Society of the Community Chest of Korea is a group for individual high-value donors who have donated 100 million won or more, or have pledged to donate 100 million won within five years.
Since its launch in 2007, it is now on the verge of reaching 4,000 members nationwide in 19 years.
In April of this year, an SK Hynix employee in the North Chungcheong Province region joined anonymously, making this the second time this year that an SK Hynix employee has joined the Honor Society.
