Bring warmth to
life and the world

Seowon Valley Green charity Concert is part of our social contribution efforts, which is held on the fairways with Korean K-Pop stars by Korean Wave stars. The golf fairways and bunkers turn into a playground for children and parents and a parking lot (9 holes).

Particularly, in 2017
we donated talent to 'My House Appeared', a renovation TV show
by JTBC for neighbors
who have poor residential environment.

Based on expertise and experiences in building
more than 30,000 apartment units, DAEBO Engineering & Construction removed old houses and provided
new places to live for 8 months in Ganghwado, Yeoju, Dongducheon, Paju, and Boeun for people who shared their life stories with viewers.
