Over the past three years, more than 7,400 children and teenagers have participated in the program, including those who were bullied in school.
From this year, GS Caltex has opened the program to teenagers who defected from North Korea, the company said.
The program is either run as part of schools’ regular curriculum or as a two-night camp at a public arts park in Yeosu.
