Children Enjoy Rides and the Aquarium
Seoul Asan Medical Center announced on September 22, just ahead of the Chuseok holiday, that it had invited 60 children suffering from pediatric cancer and other serious illnesses, along with their families, to Lotte World in Songpa-gu, Seoul for an excursion event.
This event was part of the social contribution program “Our Heroes,” jointly organized by Seoul Asan Medical Center, HD Hyundai 1% Sharing Foundation, and Green Umbrella. It was designed to provide a special experience for children and families who have struggled to enjoy daily life due to long-term medical treatment.

The children and their families enjoyed rides and watched parades at Lotte World, and also visited the aquarium and Seoul Sky Observatory. HD Hyundai 1% Sharing Foundation provided access to Lotte World Adventure, the Aquarium, and Seoul Sky, as well as meals and souvenirs.
Medical staff from Seoul Asan Medical Center also participated in the event to accompany the children and their families on the outing. Professor Kang Sunghan from the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the Children’s Hospital, and Nurse Lee Eunok from the pediatric palliative care team helped ensure the children’s safety onsite.
“Our Heroes” is a program aimed at encouraging children who are undergoing treatment for, or have overcome, serious illnesses such as pediatric cancer. In May, approximately 40 children and family members traveled to Ulsan for activities including a tour of the HD Hyundai Heavy Industries yard and attendance at a Ulsan HD FC professional soccer match.
