On November 25, 2022, at the 6th General Assembly of the Intellectual Property Innovation Company Council, hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office and overseen by the Patent Strategy Development Institute, our company was recognized as an outstanding IP-R&D institution and awarded the Korean Intellectual Property Office Commissioner Award.It was selected as an outstanding institution due to its patent generation, product commercialization, and revenue growth through the implementation of an IP-based R&D strategy. Each year, the Commercialization Strategy Office selects research projects and employs IP and associated data comprehensively to plan R&D and strategically employ them for business management. IP-R&D is an effective R&D process because it may determine the path of R&D by considering evasion design, establishing a patent invalidation strategy, and licensing by analyzing the patents of competitors during the research planning stage. The Commercialization Strategy Office will encourage IP-R&D and actively seek new growth engines for the company in the future.

In honor of our quality innovation, customer satisfaction, and remarkable management performance, we have been designated as a company with excellent quality competitiveness fourteen times in a row till 2021, and this year we aspired to be entered into the "Hall of Fame" and were successful. Since the introduction of the "Quality Competitiveness Excellent Company" selection system in 1997, the "Hall of Fame" for companies with excellent quality competitiveness has been aimed at companies that have achieved outstanding business performance through quality management systems, technology, and continuous quality improvement. The significance of our induction into the "Hall of Fame" is heightened by the fact that just 29 out of 1,505 companies selected by 2021 have accomplished this significant achievement. In addition, CEO Yongsuk Kang was awarded the "Industrial Medal of Honor" in appreciation of Seoyon E-Hwa's commitment to the growth of the national industry via digital transformation and smart factory promotion.

On November 18, 2022 (Friday), the Labor and Management of Seoyon E-Hwa hosted a "Seasonal Kimchi Sharing Event of Love" with local volunteers for the elderly living alone. Following the introduction of cucumber pickles in June and radish kimchi in August, the seasonal kimchi-sharing event is the third to be organized. This time, they produced "Young Radish Kimchi," which has a refreshingly sweet flavor and pairs well with noodle meals like ramen and noodles. The Seoyon E-Hwa employees and volunteers who participated in the event smiled and conversed while making kimchi, despite the difficulty of the labor such as preparing and trimming ingredients by hand from early in the morning. Particularly, this kimchi sharing is regarded to be of great comfort and assistance to elderly individuals living alone who experience the strain of making kimchi during the winter kimchi season owing to the sudden increase in prices. We hope the local elderly can appreciate the kimchi prepared with care by Seoyeon E-Hwa and experience the warmth of their neighbors throughout the chilly winter months. Seoyon E-Hwa will continue to encourage a culture of generous giving in the local community.
