Director Hong Seong-woo of the Department of Urology, known as "Gwaachuhyung," who has overcome allegations of misuse of power, donated condoms worth 100 million won to the Korea AIDS Prevention Association for the country’s vulnerable AIDS population.
This donation was officially made during a handover ceremony held on Apr. 17, 2025, at the association's headquarters located in Donam-dong, Seongbuk-gu, and the condoms will be used through the association to aid vulnerable AIDS populations nationwide.
Director Hong stated, "AIDS is still surrounded by many prejudices, and it is regrettable that information and tools for prevention are not being communicated adequately." He added, "Through this donation, I hope that more people will recognize the importance of sexual health and practice prevention."
Director Hong Seong-woo, who has garnered public affection through the YouTube channel "Dr. Jomulju Gwaachuhyung" for his candid and cheerful delivery of urology knowledge, expressed his willingness to help by saying, "If help is needed regarding AIDS prevention, I will always be there to assist," indicating his intent to participate in future external activities of the association.
An official from the Korea AIDS Prevention Association remarked, "This donation will go beyond simple material support and will greatly contribute to raising social awareness about sexual health," expressing gratitude.
This donation activity is expected to remain a good example of "positive influence" and bring about positive changes in the formation of discourse surrounding sexual health.
