SHANGHAI, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodyear recently concluded its 3rd annual Dream Summer Camp phase I program in Nujiang, Yunnan province. As a cornerstone of Goodyear's ongoing commitment to supporting high school students in rural areas, this corporate responsibility program aims to inspire the youth to reach their full potential and prepare them for a brighter future.
Marking the third consecutive year of partnership with local schools, this year's initiative featured engaging volunteer-led classes at Yunnan Laowo Town Junior High School and New Era Secondary School. In addition, Goodyear donated the "Goodyear Dream Library" to Laowo Town Junior High School to enrich the students' learning resources and reading environment.
Nat Madarang, President, Goodyear Asia Pacific said, "We take immense pride in the continued success of the Goodyear Dream Summer Camp program. The donation of the Goodyear Dream Library and the dedication of our volunteers reflect our unwavering commitment to supporting underdeveloped communities and shaping a Better Future for our next generation."
Dedicated Goodyear volunteers taught specialized courses tailored to the students, including English, Sustainability, and Financial Literacy. These interactive sessions broadened the students' horizons, enhanced their determination for natural resource conservation, and cultivated personal financial planning and risk prevention skills. In July, Goodyear will implement phase II by hosting Yunnan students in Goodyear's Shanghai office.
"The Goodyear Dream Summer Camp embodies our spirit of hope and empowerment," said Helen Pei, Vice President, Goodyear Asia Pacific Communications & Government Relations. "It is heartening to see our volunteers actively engaging with these young minds, providing them with the knowledge and resources they need to flourish. We are happy to see that students we interacted with 3 years ago are marching towards their dreams more confidently."
"We sincerely thank Goodyear for bringing the Dream Summer Camp to our school for three consecutive years and for donating the 'Goodyear Dream Library,'" said Mr. Zhao Wen, Principal of Laowo Town Junior High School. " This long-term commitment is helping us to improve the quality of our education."

GOODYEAR ELEVATES 3RD ANNUAL DREAM SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM IN YUNNAN
GOODYEAR ELEVATES 3RD ANNUAL DREAM SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM IN YUNNAN
SEOUL, Korea, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Newmark announces the release of its 1Q26 Korea Office Leasing Conditions & Trends report, highlighting stable market fundamentals, evolving demand drivers and continuing rental growth across Seoul's office market. Vacancy held at 3.8% quarter-over-quarter in 1Q26, and rents continued to trend upward, rising approximately 5% year-over-year, supported by sustained demand for high-quality office space and ongoing flight to quality.
"Seoul's office market continues to demonstrate underlying stability, even as office leasing activity becomes more dynamic," said Judy Jang, Executive Director, Head of Research – Korea. "We are seeing a reallocation driven by redevelopment, evolving occupier needs and a growing presence of technology and consumer-led companies. This is contributing to a more diversified tenant base and reinforcing the premium placed on high-quality assets."
Key themes from the report include:
- Redevelopment-driven relocations reshaping leasing activity: Increased tenant movement tied to redevelopment and refurbishment is driving short-term vacancy fluctuations and negative absorption, particularly across core assets. At the same time, underlying demand remains resilient, with occupiers continuing to prioritize newer, high-quality space – reinforcing a broader "flight to quality" trend across the market. Read more here.
- New demand drivers expanding beyond traditional sectors: Leasing demand is diversifying as global AI and technology firms establish and scale their presence in Seoul, alongside K-consumer brands consolidating operations into larger, integrated headquarters in prime districts. This shift is contributing to a broader tenant mix and supporting incremental demand for well-located, high-spec office environments. Read more here.
- Regulatory easing accelerating redevelopment and market polarization: Policy support and incentive programs are encouraging landlords to upgrade aging assets, particularly in the Gangnam Business District, while limited near-term supply is amplifying the impact of these upgrades. As a result, the gap between newly delivered or refurbished buildings and older stock is expected to widen, supporting continued rental growth and increased differentiation across submarkets.

Judy added, "Newmark expects leasing demand to continue expanding, supported by technology-driven occupiers and evolving corporate real estate strategies. While new supply in the second half of 2026 may introduce some volatility in vacancy, prime assets are expected to sustain upward pressure on rents."
