Since 2023, Hana Financial Group has been offering sign language education for its employees twice a year, in both the first and second half. In the first half of this year, a total of seven sessions produced 348 graduates.

This second-half program will be held at Hana Financial Group's Myeongdong headquarters from today until October 21, with a total of four sessions. Around 30 employees will participate, and the classes will be led by the Korea Sign Language Institute, a specialized sign language educational organization. Notably, this program is themed "Korean Sign Language Through Films and TV Dramas," utilizing familiar scenes and visual materials to help participants learn sign language in a more approachable and natural way.

A Hana Financial Group representative said, "We hope that by using content familiar from everyday life—such as films and dramas—our employees will have an opportunity to naturally understand sign language and Deaf culture. We will continue to actively reduce prejudice and barriers surrounding disabilities by encouraging voluntary participation from employees, and promote a culture of care and inclusion throughout everyday life and the workplace through sincere initiatives."
