KyoWon Group is providing relief supplies to the flood-affected areas of Geoje and Tongyeong and waiving penalties for customers impacted by damaged rental appliances. The company aims to assist residents in restoring their daily lives by offering not just donations but also repairs and reinstallation of damaged rental products.
On September 2, KyoWon Group announced its support for flood recovery efforts in the Geoje and Tongyeong regions. The company plans to deliver 2,200 hygiene and daily necessities worth 40 million won to disaster victims in Tongyeong.
The relief supplies include health products from KyoWon Healthcare, as well as toothbrushes, toothpaste, wet wipes, and toilet paper. The items were selected to address the hygiene needs of residents during the recovery process.
KyoWon Wells, the rental appliance brand, has been providing additional support to affected customers since August 18. Customers whose rental appliances were damaged or lost due to the heavy rains will have their penalties waived. The company is also offering free disassembly, reinstallation, repairs, and filter replacements.
Typically, KyoWon Wells charges for repairs caused by customer negligence and imposes penalties for early contract termination. However, this support initiative does not apply these costs to damages or losses resulting from natural disasters.
KyoWon Group described this support as part of Chairman Jang Pyeong-soon’s management philosophy of 'lifelong connections' and its commitment to social contribution. The company has been assisting disaster-affected areas for 26 years.
A KyoWon Group representative stated, 'We have initiated this support to provide practical help so that residents and customers in the affected areas can return to their daily lives as soon as possible.'
