Upbit Operator Dunamu Donates Five Disaster-Response Medical Vehicles to Korean Red Cross

Dunamu, the operator of digital-asset exchange Upbit, said April 28 that it had donated five mobile medical vehicles to the Korean Red Cross to support disaster response.

The company held a handover ceremony for the Korean Red Cross disaster response medical team, or HERU, vehicles at Seoul Red Cross Hospital on April 27.

The donation is intended to strengthen initial medical response capacity when disasters and emergencies occur. The vehicles will be stationed at key Red Cross hospitals in Seoul, Incheon, Sangju, Tongyeong and Yeongju. Fitted with emergency treatment equipment, they will provide urgent medical support to disaster victims and relief workers in the field.

The vehicles were built using $217,000 of the $724,000 that Upbit donated in March 2025 to support recovery from wildfires in the Yeongnam region. Upbit has donated about $1.86 million for disasters including wildfires, floods and droughts, backing the public safety net.

The project is part of Dunamu's corporate social responsibility efforts to support disaster response and public healthcare. It is also aimed at expanding frontline infrastructure and raising awareness of the social role private companies can play. That message is reflected in the Upbit branding on the vehicles' exterior.

"This support is particularly meaningful because it contributes to building infrastructure that can be used directly at disaster sites," Dunamu Chief Executive Officer Oh Kyung-seok said. "We will continue our social contribution efforts to strengthen disaster response and community safety nets."

Chae Dong-wan, director of Seoul Red Cross Hospital and head of its medical center, called the HERU vehicles an important foundation for rapid medical response at disaster sites. He added that the organization would operate them systematically so the donation translates into tangible disaster-response capacity.
