HD Hyundai Group Chairman Chung Ki-sun spared time to pay respect to war heroes buried at national cemeteries in Korea as June marks the Month of Patriots and Veterans.
Chung and 200 employees of the group visited the Seoul National Cemetery and other sites managed by the government in Yeongcheon City, North Gyeongsang Province, and Goesan County, North Chungcheong Province, the company said Sunday. HD Construction Equipment President and CEO Moon Jae-young joined Chung.
At the Seoul National Cemetery in Dongjak District, Chung laid flowers and burned an incense to pay tribute. At the cemetery's Zone 25, he removed weeds and cleaned gravestones.
Chung previously visited a national cemetery in Manila, Philippines, and sought fallen heroes of the 1950-53 Korean War while visiting the country as part of Korea’s national economic envoy last March.
