The Seoul Branch of the Korean Red Cross (Chairman Kwon Young-kyu) announced that Kim Young-sik, a special advisory committee member for women's service, received the Presidential Citation for her humanitarian service and social contribution activities at the founding ceremony held at the COEX Auditorium in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 31st to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Red Cross.
Commissioner Kim Young-sik, wife of the late Koo Bon-moo, former chairman of LG Group, has dedicated 25 years to volunteering and donating since joining the Women's Volunteer Special Advisory Committee of the Seoul Branch of the Korean Red Cross in 2001. Her cumulative individual donations have reached 100 million won, and she has also contributed to the "Together U Campaign," a school violence prevention education and customized support program for victims of violence jointly conducted by the Seoul Branch of the Korean Red Cross and LG Household & Health Care since 2019.
Commissioner Kim served as Chairperson of the Special Advisory Committee on Women's Volunteer Services in 2013 and, as Vice Chairperson of the Seoul Branch from 2021 to 2025, has been dedicated to the development of the committee and the expansion of volunteer activities. This continued participation and contribution is what led to her receiving this Presidential Citation.
Chairman Kwon Young-gyu said, “Chairman Kim Young-sik’s continuous donations and volunteer work are examples of the Red Cross’ humanitarian spirit in action,” and added, “This award will be a great encouragement not only to Chairman Kim, but also to the many volunteers and citizens who participated.”
Commissioner Kim Young-sik said, “This award is not due to my personal efforts, but to all the Red Cross family members and citizens who served with me,” and added, “I will continue to participate in any place that needs help.”
