On September 3, Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter held a reopening event after completing the remodeling of the "Yeongpung Seokpo Bathhouse," the company announced on the 4th. The event was attended by Ki-Young Choi, Bonghwa County Governor, the Seokpo-myeon head, officials from the Seokpo-myeon Senior Citizens' Association, local residents, as well as Yeongpung employees including Nogyu Lim, Manager of Seokpo Smelter.

The Yeongpung Seokpo Bathhouse is a facility that Yeongpung has been operating since 2004. The bathhouse supplies hot water by utilizing residual thermal energy generated from the smelting process, and it is provided free of charge to residents of Seokpo-myeon.

The company explained that, especially considering the mountainous nature of northern Gyeongsangbuk-do, the bathhouse has served as a facility supporting the convenience and welfare of local residents.

This remodeling project modernized both the interior and exterior facilities of the bathhouse and improved safety measures. Yeongpung expects that residents will now be able to use the facilities in a more comfortable and sanitary environment.

Nogyu Lim, Manager of Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter, stated, "This bathhouse remodeling project is a meaningful opportunity to continue the history of mutual growth between the smelter and the local residents. Seokpo Smelter will continue efforts to improve the convenience of daily life for residents and enhance community welfare."
