Jan 23, 2025
Chairman of the Eulji Foundation Park Joon-young continued to donate defense donations at his own expense again this year.
According to the Eulji Foundation on the 23rd, Chairman Park visited the Eulji Unit of the Army 12th Division in Inje County, Gangwon Province, and delivered 25 million won in defense contributions.
The funds will be used to boost morale and welfare of South Korean soldiers.
Until this year, Chairman Park has donated 350 million won to military units such as Eulji University as his personal funds.
Chairman Park has been donating money every year to encourage soldiers dedicated to defending their homeland since he formed ties with Eulji Unit, which uses the same name as the foundation in 2010.
In addition to donations, Chairman Park has donated 16 billion won worth of inherited assets to Eulji Hospital, Eulji Academy, a school corporation, and Beomseok Academic Scholarship Foundation for free in 2013, as well as social welfare community fundraising, Korean Sharing Movement, Mosaegol Community, and Children's Foundation.
At the donation ceremony, Chairman Park said, `The Eulji Foundation and the Eulji Unit are contributing to the development of the nation by taking the lead in solidifying education, medical care and security fields"Let's continue together without wavering the commitment and patriotism symbolized by the word 'Ulji' amid growing uncertainties at home and abroad."
Eulji Hospital under the Eulji Foundation was built by the late Dr. Bumseok Park Young-ha, the founder of the foundation, in 1956 following Taepyeong-ro 2-ga, and the name 'Ji-ji' was based on the idea of the late Dr. Park Young-ha to follow the name of the local road where the hospital was located.
It is said that the name 'Ji-ro', derived from Goguryeo's master general Eulji Mundeok's last name 'Ji (乙支), is special to the late Dr. Park Young-ha from North Korea, and thank him for growing up in Eulji-ro after its opening.
In particular, it is known that the late Dr. Park Young-ha's intention was projected that the Eulji Foundation named the foundation as 'Eulji' instead of the founder's pen name 'Bumseok' or the name 'Youngha'.
When the late Dr. Park Young-ha applied for the establishment of Eulji Medical University in 1996, the words 'Do not commit to writing an individual's name or pen name to the name of the university, which is an educational institution that can last forever' is a famous anecdote within the foundation.
It is known that the Eulji Unit was also named after General Eulji Mundeok by former President Syngman Rhee at the time of its establishment.
The Eulji Foundation formed a sisterhood relationship in January 2011 with the Eulji Unit, which uses the same name to continue the devotion and patriotic spirit of General Eulji Mundeok.
On the other hand, the Eulji Foundation provides various medical benefits to prestigious military service members and their families who faithfully completed their military service and their grandfathers and grandchildren at Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital, Daejeon Eulji University Hospital, and Nowon Eulji University Hospital, run by Eulji University Medical Center under the foundation, following the intention of the late Dr. Park Young-ha. Chairman Park Joon-young's family is also known to have faithfully fulfilled their military service obligations.
When the Korean War broke out while working in the obstetrics and gynecology class at Seoul National University Medical School, the late Dr. Park Young-ha volunteered to join the military as a civilian doctor to treat injured diseases at a field hospital.
In particular, as the hospital was flooded with wounded soldiers at the time, tents were set up around them and simple inpatient rooms were created to treat wounded soldiers, and even amid the saturation of the war, the story of saving the precious lives of wounded soldiers who were at the crossroads of life and death is still vividly told in the medical community.
His mother, the late former honorary chairman Jicheon Jeon Jeung-hee, also voluntarily enlisted as a nursing officer when the Korean War broke out, and laid the foundation for military nursing by nursing wounded soldiers without losing clarity and sincerity in the battlefield. Therefore, the honorary chairman of the late Jeon Jeung-hee is evaluated as a person who laid the foundation for the nursing field.
The late Dr. Park Young-ha and the late honorary chairman Jeon Jeung-hee formed a couple's relationship on the battlefield in 1952, and the fact that both couples participated in the Korean War is one of the best in the medical community.
