Uniting Communities: The 2025 6.6 Walking Competition

On June 6, Namsan Park in Seoul transformed into a vibrant hub of community spirit. The ‘2025 6.6 Walking Competition,’ organized by Habitat for Humanity Korea, attracted 2,200 participants, including the famous singer Shawn. Together, they walked 6.6 kilometers to honor fallen soldiers and show gratitude to national veterans.

As the event ambassador, Shawn expressed his appreciation for this meaningful opportunity to commemorate Memorial Day. He hopes this event will inspire a lasting culture of gratitude and remembrance within the community. Lee Kwang-hwa, Secretary-General of Habitat for Humanity Korea, also addressed the participants. He thanked them for their involvement and highlighted the importance of the funds raised during the event.

In total, 66 million KRW was collected from participation fees. This money will significantly improve housing conditions for veterans. Additionally, Citibank Korea generously contributed 250 million KRW to support this cause. The North Face enhanced the event experience by providing rewards such as t-shirts and children’s items for participants.

The event was hosted by the charismatic YouTuber Genius Lee Seung-guk. Members of Shawn’s running crew, known as the Unknown Crew, also joined the festivities, increasing family involvement compared to last year.

Habitat for Humanity Korea has a rich history of supporting housing improvement campaigns. Since the 2020 815 Run, 19 families have benefited from the funds raised. The organization plans to continue this meaningful project with the upcoming ‘2025 815 Run’ on Liberation Day. This commitment ensures that the spirit of gratitude and remembrance thrives in the community.

In conclusion, the 2025 6.6 Walking Competition not only honored those who served but also united the community. Events like this highlight the importance of charity walks and community involvement. They remind us of the power of collective efforts in making a difference. Together, we can support veterans and strengthen our community.
