"The most important thing in achieving your goals is to keep learning and maintain a willingness to take on challenges," Chairman Choi Jin-min said. "I hope this scholarship will serve as a solid stepping stone for students to believe in their potential and move toward a brighter future."

"I thank Chairman Choi Jin-min and the Kiturami Cultural Foundation for providing this valuable opportunity to nurture local talent," Mayor Ahn said. "We will do our utmost to create a supportive educational environment and provide assistance so that students can take pride in their community and focus on their studies."

The scholarship is expected to ease students' financial burdens and create a stable environment for their studies, while helping local youths develop their potential and abilities and grow into future leaders.

It is also expected to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with the local community through the company's continued social contribution activities and positively contribute to the development of local talent.
