Hanwha Group's defense affiliates joined the Ministry of National Defense to host a "healing day" event for exemplary service members and their families in honor of Military Family Day.

Hanwha's three defense units — Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha Systems and Hanwha Ocean — invited 60 families of exemplary service members, selected through a family essay contest, to The Plaza hotel in Seoul on Thursday. This year marked the third time Hanwha has held the healing day event for military families. Jeon Jun-beom, director of the Defense Ministry's AI Planning Bureau, and Hanwha Aerospace Executive Vice President Moon Ji-hoon attended to encourage the service members and their families.

Kim Chang-ok, head of Kim Chang-ok Academy and a well-known communications expert, also spoke at the event, delivering a lecture titled "The Art of Joyful Communication."

In his congratulatory remarks, Director Jeon said, "It is the support and commitment of their families that allows service members devoted to the nation and its people to focus on their duties." He added that he hoped the gathering would be "a meaningful occasion for mutual encouragement."

In his welcoming address, Executive Vice President Moon thanked the exemplary service members and their families for their commitment. "Hanwha will fulfill its corporate social responsibility so that military families can take even greater pride in what they do," he said.
