[Story]A beautiful world created together.

Honestly, I didn't feel any major change or revelation in the moment itself. I just thought, "Wow, removing invasive plants is much harder and more exhausting than I expected."

A few days later, while taking a walk, I noticed the plants arranged along the waterfront. It was a familiar landscape I'd passed countless times, but strangely, my gaze lingered that day. Looking at the plants tended by someone's hands, I naturally thought of the effort put in by those who care for the environment and maintain the city's appearance. Seeing it that way, the plants in the park felt more precious and admirable. It was a moment when I understood what it means to look at the world with a more compassionate gaze, and how profoundly that perspective can influence one's daily life.

I'm naturally reserved and often find it difficult to approach people even when I want to get closer. Through this volunteer activity, working up a sweat together and moving side by side, I felt the emotional distance shrink—without needing to say much.

I believe that closing psychological distance definitely has a positive impact on collaboration. After all, within Sandoll as an organization, we're all moving toward shared goals. Looking back, past projects also seemed more satisfying when we showed mutual consideration and exchanged active feedback. Even when the process was difficult, those times remained as good memories.

The "more compassionate gaze toward the world" I mentioned earlier comes from carefully observing your surroundings and considering others' perspectives. Consideration naturally flows from that kind of outlook. If we internalize these attitudes through volunteer work and they naturally expand into our corporate culture, I think Sandoll can evolve into an organization with healthy, solid teamwork.

I think it would be great to do something related to "letters"—what Sandoll does best. Korean language education for elderly people struggling with literacy or children from multicultural families comes to mind.

I've always found it fascinating how voluntary participation in activities like volunteering naturally reveals what people care about. As Sandoll's social contribution activities accumulate, won't we come to understand our colleagues' interests better? If it becomes an opportunity to know each other more deeply, any activity would be meaningful.

Personally, I love animals. During my undergraduate years, I volunteered at an animal shelter for abandoned pets. Those memories remain warm for me. More than anything, it made me reconsider the meaning of responsibility. After returning from this volunteer activity, I found myself thinking I should visit again after all this time. Anyone who'd like to join me is more than welcome!

I think it's been a really long time since I've touched soil. Living in the city, we gradually forget that we're grounded in nature, but this volunteer activity helped me reconnect with that sense. The weather was beautiful too, so it was a refreshing break.

Above all, I could genuinely feel Sandoll's philosophy of "creating a beautiful world." Though it was brief, I hope we made at least some small contribution. I look forward to Sandoll's social contribution activities continuing steadily!

This was the first time since I joined that all employees gathered in one place to participate in volunteer work. Just the fact that everyone came together with shared purpose for "work that benefits the world"—what Sandoll strives for—felt deeply rewarding. As the company has grown, opportunities for everyone to come together like this have become increasingly rare, so the very fact that we all gathered to accomplish something meaningful felt precious.

Personally, I spend most of my time sitting at my desk in front of a monitor, but on this day, I had the pleasure of moving my body, seeing trees and grass, hearing birds, and working up a sweat. It made me want to create more moments like this going forward.

Film critic Lee Dong-jin once said something along these lines: that leisure and space in our lives allow us to care for ourselves and those around us.

It's obvious, but when we're immersed in work, we naturally overlook what's happening with our colleagues (outside of work). Activities like this volunteer work become precious opportunities to catch our breath and look after one another. Beyond mutual understanding and care among colleagues, this positive energy extends outward into the community. Ultimately, don't these experiences come together to strengthen Sandoll's corporate culture even further?

I recently discovered a brand called New Year Market  produce and sell stickers and memo pads featuring drawings and handwriting created by elderly people. Even though the writing is wobbly and uneven, I found it striking how each product carries the individual character of its creators.

Seeing this example made me think it would be wonderful if Sandoll could connect with the community through Korean language content—what we do best. As PD Jeonghyo suggested, we could run Korean language and handwriting education programs for elderly people struggling with literacy or children from multicultural families. We might even create warm, delightful outcomes together, like the Chilgok Grandma Handwriting font.

I hope we can have meaningful moments like this more often. Honestly, on my own I often think "I should volunteer sometime" but never actually take that first step. Doing it together with colleagues naturally created motivation. Plus, working up a sweat on-site brought far more joy than I expected. Great work, everyone!

I lead the B2B Partnership Team at Sandoll, where I'm responsible for font license sales and new client acquisition. I create touchpoints with corporate clients across various industries and help ensure Sandoll's design assets contribute to elevating their brand value.

I find great fulfillment in proposing solutions tailored to client needs and developing and executing strategies that lead to long-term partnerships. I see myself as a bridge—understanding the market and clients while effectively communicating Sandoll's philosophy and technical capabilities.

Though it was brief, the experience of moving my body in an unfamiliar natural environment—touching soil and pulling plants—resonated more deeply than I expected. Learning that this wasn't simply weeding but meaningful work to maintain a healthy urban ecosystem gave me a renewed sense of responsibility toward the environment I live in. I also felt deep gratitude thinking about how someone has been doing this work all along.

Understanding what "invasive plants" are and why we need to remove them was a significant learning experience. Because all Sandoll members moved with shared purpose throughout the process, I could deeply feel our sense of community solidarity. It was a precious time to reflect on feelings and values that are easily overlooked in our busy daily lives, through an unfamiliar experience.

Volunteer work warms the inner lives of individual members and deepens bonds between one another. The experience of laughing together, moving together, and contributing to society goes beyond simple teamwork to create a culture of genuine empathy and collaboration.

This naturally carries into the workplace, fostering an atmosphere where we better understand and consider each other. It becomes the foundation for building a healthy corporate culture where members can work with pride.

I believe this plays a vital role in creating a positive cycle where Sandoll's creativity and social responsibility naturally connect.

The Sandoll Volunteer Corps was established last November. We're currently active in Seongdong District, and going forward, I'd like to see us engage more closely with this local community through mutually beneficial activities.

Even without grand projects, I hope our attention to detail and warmth can seep into every corner of the neighborhood. For example, we could help design signage for libraries or community centers that residents frequent, run letter-play programs with local children, or beautifully redesign name tags for elderly neighbors.

I dream of Sandoll's creative assets naturally blending into the community and its residents, with people saying to each other, "I heard the Sandoll Volunteer Corps did this." If we could feel Sandoll's touch throughout Seongdong District like that, there would be no more meaningful social contribution.

Through volunteer activities, I've come to understand "time spent together" in a new light. Rather than being in a position to help others, I've often found myself receiving far more comfort and joy in return.

This volunteer work—tending to urban nature—resonated with me more deeply than I expected. It wasn't simply about pulling plants but about making the spaces we inhabit healthier. Watching each other work up a sweat deepened our sense of solidarity.

While we're usually busy with our individual tasks, the collective resonance felt when we gathered under the banner of volunteering touched me deeply. I hope we can continue this warm momentum going forward.

I was deeply impressed watching a fellow volunteer carefully retrieve small fish and shrimp from the invasive plants we'd collected. In that moment, I realized that while protecting the natural environment is important work we should all care about, it's also an area that absolutely requires someone's meticulous care and steady effort. Seeing how they cherished each small life made me reconsider my own attitude toward the environment.

Sandoll operates on the philosophy of "creating a beautiful world." This company-wide volunteer activity was a meaningful time when all employees could directly practice this corporate philosophy. Through this, employees' awareness of our philosophy has been significantly strengthened, and I believe it will positively influence the development of a healthy corporate culture grounded in altruistic spirit.

Above all, I believe what's most important is creating opportunities for members to help others with joy and genuine willingness. For company-wide volunteer activities, we're considering kimchi-sharing drives in fall and briquette-delivery volunteering in winter. I hope these activities become meaningful occasions for all employees to share warmth and contribute to society.

Leaving the office and having all employees participate with shared purpose, working up a sweat for nature—this volunteer activity was deeply meaningful. I found great significance in stepping away from our busy routines to feel nature's value alongside colleagues and personally experience the importance of environmental protection.

Personally, it became an opportunity to reconsider nature that I'd previously taken for granted, and I developed a stronger sense of responsibility after realizing that small actions can create significant change. It made me want to continue participating in contribution activities like this going forward.
