The employees tended grave sites by whacking weeds, planting flowers and cleaning gravestones at Seoul National Cemetery in southern Seoul and Yeongcheon National Cemetery in North Gyeongsang. The voluntary programs were held twice, on May 24 and June 14.
In Korea, June is called the "Month of Patriots and Veterans," with Memorial Day on June 6.
HD Hyundai has hosted volunteer cemetery cleanups every year since 2015, when it allied with Seoul National Cemetery.
The Korean company has been running a donation campaign in June for individuals of national merit and their descendants.
