Yuyu Pharma sponsored the special exhibition in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the death of Architect Kim Joong-up, a leading architect of Korean contemporary architecture. The Yuyu Pharma Anyang Factory, designed by the architect in 1959, was purchased by Anyang City in 2007 and remodeled into the “Kim Joong-up Museum”. The deceased founder and former Chairman of Yuyu Pharma, Teukhan Yu, asked the architect to design a factory. He requested an unprecedented architectural design taking account of the architectural aesthetics, and cultural and artistic values. This was a decision made with the focus on not just improving productivity when the factory is built, but the former Chairman wanted to build the factory without harming the surrounding environment. He also wanted to establish the building as a local landmark. For the first time, Kim Joong-up's 123 original major works produced at the Atelier of Architect Le Corbusier in France for three years and two months from 1952 were exhibited.

Yuyu Pharma is conducting the "Yuyu Campaign" in collaboration with the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea to promote the excavation project for the remains of soldiers who died in the Korean War. The "Yuyu Campaign" was launched to help locate the remains of fallen soldiers who have not yet been recovered since the Korean War and to reunite them with their bereaved families through DNA testing, ultimately honoring them by enshrining them at the National Cemetery. Yuyu Pharma was awarded a plaque of appreciation by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs for its active cooperation with national veteran support policies and its contributions to improving the welfare of veterans' families. Yuyu Pharma will continue to fulfill its corporate social responsibility and contribute to the promotion of a culture of honoring veterans.
