KIND Holds Inauguration Ceremony for the First Public Relations Supporters Group
- Strengthening the Promotion of Overseas Infrastructure and Urban Development Projects in Collaboration with Young People

The Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND), headed by President and CEO Kim Bok-hwan, announced that it officially launched its first Public Relations Supporters Group with an inauguration ceremony held on June 5 at KIND’s conference hall, marking the start of its public outreach activities.

The KIND Public Relations Supporters Program was established this year for the first time to increase young people's interest in overseas infrastructure and urban development and to strengthen online communication with the public.

For the first cohort, KIND conducted an open recruitment process targeting university students and students on leave of absence. A total of ten participants were selected based on a comprehensive evaluation of their content creation capabilities, enthusiasm for participation, and understanding of the overseas infrastructure sector.

The supporters will serve for approximately seven months, from June to December 2026. During this period, they will create and promote a variety of online content, including blog posts, card news, and short-form videos, focusing on KIND’s major projects and key issues related to overseas infrastructure and urban development.

In particular, the supporters will participate in content production activities linked to KIND’s official blog and social media channels and will also be given opportunities to cover the organization’s major projects and initiatives.

The inauguration ceremony included the presentation of certificates of appointment, an introduction to KIND, an overview of the program’s objectives and activity guidelines, and training on content creation. Participants also shared ideas and discussed their plans for future activities.

Kim Bok-hwan, President and CEO of KIND, stated, “We expect that the creativity and digital content capabilities of young people will help communicate the value of overseas infrastructure and urban development projects to the public in a more accessible and engaging way.” He added, “Through various communication programs, KIND will continue striving to become a public institution that stays closely connected with the people.”

KIND is a public institution under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of the Republic of Korea. It serves as a public developer and investment specialist, carrying out overseas investment development projects, infrastructure investment and financing, and policy cooperation initiatives to support Korean companies’ expansion into global markets and strengthen international infrastructure partnerships.
