This agreement was established to provide an opportunity for vulnerable groups, who may find it difficult to obtain insurance due to financial hardship, to enroll in Post Office Public Insurance and receive support to prepare for unexpected disasters and accidents.

Post Office Public Insurance is a public project that lowers the insurance premium burden for socially disadvantaged groups, such as low-income individuals, persons with disabilities, and those just above the poverty line. It covers hospitalization and surgical expenses due to accidents, as well as consolation payments for bereaved families.

The flagship product, "The Ten-Thousand-Won Happiness Insurance," operates on a structure in which the subscriber pays 10,000 won, and the remaining premium is covered by the public funds of the Post Office Public Insurance program.

With this agreement, the two institutions plan to strengthen their cooperation by actively identifying local vulnerable groups in need of insurance and connecting public insurance enrollment with welfare services.

Kim Gihong, Head of Seogwangju Post Office, stated, "We will work to ensure that Post Office Public Insurance serves as a practical safety net for those in need," adding, "We will also continue to faithfully fulfill the public role of the post office in the community."

Meanwhile, Seogwangju Post Office and Seogu Disabled Welfare Center plan to jointly promote a variety of social contribution activities in the future, including the identification of at-risk groups in the community and the linkage of various welfare services.
