Mirae Asset Financial Group founder and Chairman Park Hyeon-joo has announced his intention to donate his entire 2025 dividend payout from Mirae Asset Global Investments. This significant contribution, valued at approximately 1.6 billion won ($1.06 million), is specifically earmarked to foster talent development and support future generations, the group confirmed on Monday.
This latest philanthropic act extends Chairman Park’s long-standing commitment, as he has consistently donated his full dividend income from the asset management firm since 2010. His dedication to leveraging these funds for the benefit of younger generations has now accumulated to an impressive total of 34.7 billion won in contributions.
The implementation of these impactful initiatives is primarily driven by the Mirae Asset Park Hyeon Joo Foundation and the Mirae Asset Hope Foundation. These essential nonprofit organizations, established under the Mirae Asset Group, are at the forefront of supporting future generations through comprehensive programs including scholarship initiatives, youth education, and global exchange activities.
Collectively, these two foundations demonstrate Mirae Asset’s substantial social commitment, having invested a combined 112.7 billion won in various social contribution projects as of the close of 2025, according to the group’s detailed reports.
Chairman Park Hyeon-joo has frequently expressed his guiding philosophy: a profound dedication to being “the greatest giver, not the richest person.” His philanthropic leadership remains steadfastly focused on critical sectors such as science, technology, and comprehensive youth education, continually reinforcing Mirae Asset’s commitment to societal progress and betterment.
An official from Mirae Asset articulated the group’s core values, stating, “Mirae Asset is deeply rooted in a philosophy of compassionate capitalism, grounded in profound consideration for our society. We are dedicated to cultivating a virtuous cycle where the value generated from our customers and the broader community is consistently reinvested. Our commitment is to continually enhance this culture of sharing through a diverse array of social contribution activities, ensuring a positive and lasting impact for all.”
