PharmGen Science backs health, cultural welfare at home and abroad

PharmGen Science has expanded its ESG (environmental, social and governance) efforts by donating healthcare products and sponsoring cultural performances for underserved communities in South Korea and abroad.

The pharmaceutical company said Monday it provided a combined 9 million won ($6,730) in cash and goods, including health supplement donations for marginalized youth in the Philippines and sponsorship of a domestic fusion gugak performance.

On Tuesday, the company delivered three products from its healthcare brand Solutie — worth about 4 million won — to youth participants in a cultural exchange and social contribution program held in Manila, Philippines. The donation was tied to the 2026 Seoul-Manila Cultural Exchange Crossover Concert, a program selected for support under the Seoul Metropolitan Government's private international cultural exchange promotion project. The event was hosted by arts group Cinnamon and organized by Makssang Musical Company.

The donated items were tailored to the nutritional needs of local youth and included Vitaing, a sustained-release vitamin C supplement absorbed gradually over up to 10 hours; Vitaing Immunity & Vitamin C Jelly, a stick-type gel supplement; and Solutie Drinking Albumin Mega Booster, a fast-absorbing liquid energy supplement.

PharmGen Science also signed on as an official sponsor of "Woori Sori, Broadway-reul Mannada" (Our Sound Meets Broadway), a fusion performance scheduled for Sept. 23 at Sowol Arts Hall in Seoul, contributing 5 million won in cash. The show, part of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's support project for private gugak events, was conceived to bring new cultural experiences to underserved audiences by blending traditional Korean music and performance with Broadway musical numbers.

The social contribution activities — spanning an overseas cultural exchange and a domestic traditional arts stage — represent an ESG model that links the company's healthcare brand with cultural welfare.

"We wanted to help culturally underserved youth enjoy the arts while also taking care of their health," a PharmGen Science official said. "As a Seoul-based company, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibilities by contributing to broader cultural experiences for marginalized communities and diverse citizens."
