Purpose and Philosophy of Hwarang Foundation:

Hwarang goes beyond its current living area and extends love's light to the youth in remote and dark regions who do not receive cultural and medical benefits. It shares food and daily necessities with the hungry while continuously managing rivers, beaches, tree planting, and ecological conservation for 15 years as part of its social service. Particularly, Hwarang members who enter universities meticulously provide necessary information for college life and guide the career paths of junior Hwarang members. They operate and utilize the Hwarang University Student Club, preserving Hwarang's pride along with ongoing volunteer activities. Hwarang Foundation is based on the spirit of Hwarang's Five Oath Principles, but it sets up a new Love Oath that aligns with reality and puts it into practice. The Five Oath Principles are: First - Love for Family, Second - Love for the Country, Third - Love for Neighbors, Fourth - Love for Justice, Fifth - Love for Peace. These love principles are the foundation of Hwarang Foundation's spirit and are passed on and taught through guidance and education. Love among family members takes precedence over any other love in finding one's identity, and knowing one's identity allows for love for the country. Prioritizing consideration enables love for neighbors, and the courage to see things rightly and speak the truth leads to love for justice. Experiencing freedom enables the practice of love for peace, fostering virtues in individuals. In today's fast-paced internet culture, youth are struggling, trapped in a narrow-minded and game-oriented world. It is one of Hwarang's tasks to rescue these youth, who have become prey in the swamp of limited vision and entertainment-focused games. Hwarang's goal is to expand the territory of talents. If trained talents are active in every corner, it will be an expansion of our territory and a means to showcase all that we possess. Hwarang, based on virtue ethics, aims to connect thoughts and decisions through family and school life, centering its education and practice on the Love Oath so that these youth can grow into future leaders.
