[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic (Chief Director Kim Jaebong) donated 5 million won from the 'Love Health Stairs' fund accumulated at Exit 4 of Sangmu Station.

Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic and Gwangju Urban Railway Corporation recently held a donation ceremony for the 'Love Health Stairs' fund.

The event was attended by about 10 people, including Kim Jihwan, Head of Management at the Urban Railway Corporation, Park Younggeol, Honorary Director of Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic, Kim Younghee, General Director, and Kim Sunmi, Principal of Segwang School.

Since July 2015, the 'Love Health Stairs' created at Exit 4 of Sangmu Station with the support of Shinsegae Eye Clinic has accumulated 10 won each time a citizen climbs the stairs.

So far, about 2 million citizens have used the health stairs, accumulating approximately 40 million won in donations and 8 million won in eye health checkup vouchers.
