Youngone Group announced Wednesday a plaque unveiling ceremony held at World Vision’s Seoul headquarters in Yeouido, celebrating cumulative donations exceeding $100 million.
In recognition of this significant milestone, World Vision installed a commemorative plaque titled the “Global Philanthropy Wall.” Youngone Group is the first donor to receive this prestigious honor, according to the organization.
The partnership between Youngone Group and World Vision began in 1993, focusing on providing support to vulnerable children and communities impacted by disasters worldwide.
Through this collaboration, Youngone Group has delivered crucial humanitarian aid to areas affected by major crises, including the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 2011 Japan earthquake, the 2022 Ukraine refugee crisis, and the 2024 floods in Bangladesh.
Over the past three decades, Youngone Group’s contributions have positively impacted the lives of over 1 million people in more than 20 countries, the company stated.
“Our partnership with World Vision exemplifies our dedication to translating corporate social responsibility into tangible actions,” said Youngone Group Chairman Sung Ki-hak. “We remain committed to working together to create meaningful change where assistance is most needed.”
World Vision Korea Chairman Cho Myung-hwan acknowledged that Youngone Group’s cumulative donations demonstrate a commitment to responsible corporate citizenship, playing a vital role in helping communities recover and rebuild their lives.
“For over 30 years, Youngone Group has been a steadfast partner, working alongside us on the front lines of humanitarian efforts,” he added.
World Vision also presented Youngone Group with a plaque of appreciation in December 2025, commemorating this donation achievement.
