“We wanted to share the warmth and love of Chuseok with our neighbors in need during the holiday where face-to-face volunteering is difficult due to COVID-19. We will continue various volunteer activities that can help in a non-face-to-face manner even if we cannot visit them in person,” said Baek Jae-min, managing director of CJ OliveNetworks.
