Kyochon F&B, the company behind the Kyochon Chicken restaurant chain, is continuing its support of immigrant youth and residents in South Korea for the third consecutive year.
The company presented a donation to the NGO, Friends Migrant Center, and launched the “3rd Kyochon Immigrant Support Project” on the 14th. The project will operate with a total budget of 30 million won, including a 20 million won donation.
A signing ceremony held on the 9th in Seoul included Im Hyung-wook, Communications Director at Kyochon F&B, Yun Young-hwan, head of Friends Migrant Center, and Shin Hye-young, director of the Seoul Global Youth Education Center, all pledging cooperation to support immigrants. The project, which began in 2024, aims to help immigrant youth and adult learners adapt to Korean society.
This year’s program is divided into two areas: “Our Good Taste” and “Our Style”. “Our Good Taste” will host Kyochon Chicken parties at over 40 immigrant support organizations across the country, providing meals. “Our Style” will offer late-teen immigrant students opportunities to explore careers in the food service industry through visits to Kyochon F&B headquarters and affiliated companies, as well as cultural experiences at places like the Korean Folk Village and Namsan mountain.
Kyochon F&B plans to gradually expand its support to include more age groups as the immigrant population in South Korea grows. The company intends to use its resources and network to help immigrants become stably rooted in their local communities.
