On the 31st, NEXON Korea announced that it had donated 88,002,000 KRW to cover surgical and medical expenses for children from low-income families suffering from burns, all raised through the company's internal 'Double U' campaign. The donation ceremony took place at the Save the Children headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul, where representatives from NEXON Korea and Save the Children discussed future operational plans for the surgical support project.

This donation will fund the initial surgeries and intensive care for 18 children who would otherwise struggle to afford timely treatment. The support project was selected through an internal employee vote held this past June, where the initiative to support burn treatment for children from low-income families secured the highest approval rate at 34.4%. A total of 837 employees participated, hitting the fundraising goal in just four days.

The total fund was comprised of employee donations, the company's one-to-one matching grant, and an additional 8 million KRW in proceeds from the documentary celebrating NEXON's 30th anniversary. Launched in 2021, the 'Double U' campaign is a corporate social responsibility program where NEXON Korea matches the total amount raised by employees. Over eight rounds, the campaign has seen approximately 2,428 participants and has reached a cumulative total of 580 million KRW in donations. NEXON Korea plans to launch another campaign in December to support children hospitalized without guardians, which secured the second-highest vote.

Choi Yeon-jin, the head of the Social Contribution Team at NEXON Korea, stated, "The voluntary participation of our employees combined with the company's support is fostering a culture of giving, spreading positive influence. We will continue our efforts to deliver hope to children in need by uniting our hearts."

Kim Hee-kwon, head of the ESG division at Save the Children, remarked, "Burn treatment involves repetitive surgeries and rehabilitation, which places a heavy financial burden on low-income families. This support is especially meaningful as it is a fund raised by the voluntary hearts of NEXON Korea employees. Save the Children will do our utmost to ensure that this donation, filled with the warm sincerity of NEXON Korea employees, serves as a valuable foundation for the healthy recovery of these children."
