Global game developer HAEGIN (CEO Lee Young-il) announced that, in celebration of Family Month, it is partnering with the child welfare organization ChildFund Korea (Chairman Hwang Young-gi) to conduct a social contribution campaign for 'young carers'—children and adolescents who fall through the cracks of social support.

'Young carers' refers to children and adolescents who take on the role of a breadwinner, handling caregiving and household chores instead of focusing on their studies or play due to a guardian's illness or disability. HAEGIN decided to provide this support to help these children alleviate their anxiety about the future and focus on their own lives.

The total donation of ₩13171923 was raised entirely from the proceeds of employee beverage purchases at the company's in-house cafeteria over the past year. Since 2024, HAEGIN has been fostering a virtuous cycle where everyday employee consumption leads to charitable giving, delivering warmth to those in need each year.

The donated funds will be distributed to young carers selected through ChildFund Korea's nationwide network. By this November, the beneficiaries will receive customized support of approximately ₩2 million per person, tailored to their individual needs, including living expenses, medical costs, and educational fees to ensure their healthy development.

Lee Won-geun, Director of Management Planning at HAEGIN, stated that the initiative was prepared to help children who have shouldered the weight of family responsibilities at a young age return to a normal daily life and create an environment where they can dream again.

He added that he hopes this donation, which represents the collective heart of the employees, will serve as a warm hand to help lighten the burden these children carry. Meanwhile, HAEGIN has maintained a partnership with ChildFund Korea for three consecutive years, starting with support for children from low-income families, and continues to practice ongoing sharing for children in the local community.
