The PyeongChang 2018 flame is nearing the completion of its journey. The Olympic torch had hit the halfway mark on its cross-country trek when it received a truly special welcome by P&G Korea employees in Suwon.
Torchbearers included P&G’s Asia-Pacific Region President Magesvaran Suranjan (right) and Hyunju Jeon (left), a Product Supply employee who had won a P&G Korea walkathon competition.
Jeon, walkathon winner, felt moved by her site’s enthusiasm and cheers from the sidelines. “It was a great honor to be a torchbearer for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.” It was an experience she won’t soon forget.
Jooyoun Kim, VP & GM, P&G Korea, said "With the Olympic torch relay, consumers’ attention to and passion for the PyeongChang Olympics is growing."
The Olympic torch relay began on November 1, kicking off the 100-day countdown to the PyeongChang Olympics, when the flame landed at Incheon International Airport. The torch relay in South Korea is designed to cover 2,018 kilometers, commemorating the staging year of the PyeongChang Olympics.
