The host company DB Insurance is taking the lead in realizing the value of sharing by holding the "Buddy of Love" event again this year. "Buddy of Love," which began in 2012, is a social contribution activity that accumulates certain funds and delivers them to underprivileged people and neighbors whenever players record birdies during the tournament, and until last year, the cumulative donation totaled 867.05 million won.
