Warm donations continue to be made to Jeonbuk National University (JBNU)'s '1,000-Won Breakfast' program, which aims to establish healthy breakfast habits among enrolled students and to promote local rice consumption. Following recent participation by many alumni, NH Investment & Securities, a leading comprehensive financial investment company in Korea, contributed 15 million won to the university's development fund and joined the meaningful initiative.

NH Investment & Securities is supporting the '1,000-Won Breakfast' program at 26 national and public universities nationwide. Through this donation to JBNU, the university will be able to provide practical support for offering breakfast to a greater number of students.

Accordingly, on November 3 at 4:00 p.m., JBNU held a donation ceremony at the President's Office in the University Headquarters, inviting Jo Young-rae, Executive Director and Head of the Central-Western Headquarters of NH Investment & Securities, and other representatives, and presented an appreciation plaque.

Since its establishment in 1969, NH Investment & Securities has been recognized for outstanding competitiveness across all business areas and provides a range of financial services through 57 branches nationwide. In particular, the Jeonju WM Center, since its opening in 2001, has established itself as the leading securities firm in the Jeonbuk region and has realized customer satisfaction through customized asset management services.

This donation was made as part of NH Investment & Securities' role as an affiliate of the broader Nonghyup group, reflecting its intention to fulfill responsibilities toward agriculture and the local community.

NH Investment & Securities stated, 'While considering practical measures to address declining rice consumption and regional imbalance, we judged that the "1,000-Won Breakfast" program could have a positive impact on university students, agriculture, and local communities, and decided to make this donation.'

The donation will be used to provide a warm breakfast to JBNU students. Currently, the 1,000-Won Breakfast is being provided to 30,000 students through December 19, and it is expected that this offering can be further expanded next year through multiple donations.

Jo Young-rae, Executive Director and Head of the Central-Western Headquarters of NH Investment & Securities, said, 'As the saying goes that a meal is like medicine, I believe breakfast is an investment in the future and growth. I hope students start their days energetically and pursue their dreams through healthy meals.'

He added that he hopes the 'Nongshim-Cheonshim (農心天心)' movement, promoted through this donation, will be conveyed to JBNU students with warm hearts, and said, 'We look forward to continuing to grow together with Jeonbuk National University.'

President Yang O-bong expressed gratitude, saying, 'This donation is a precious act of sharing that greatly supports improving students' dietary habits and creating a healthy campus culture. We deeply appreciate NH Investment & Securities' generous support and will use the donation responsibly for student welfare.'
