Jungnang-gu Operates Youth Community Space 'Dingadong 1beonji Open Chat Room'

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will operate the first youth community space, Dinga-dong 1st Street open chat room, for teenagers exhausted from staying home due to COVID-19, from the 25th until December 31.

The Dinga-dong 1st Street open chat room, the first youth community space, will be open daily from 7 PM to 10 PM, providing a space where teenagers can communicate online.

Every month, activities such as ▲ sharing hobbies like cooking and board games ▲ sharing daily life with new themes like singing, dancing, and talent shows will be held.

Additionally, various events will be conducted, including awarding gift certificates to teenagers who receive great responses after uploading videos on new monthly themes.

Participants are teenagers aged 14 (born in 2007) to 19 (born in 2002), with a maximum capacity of 50 participants in the open chat room. Teenagers wishing to participate can scan the QR code on the poster or search for ‘Community Space’ in the KakaoTalk open chat room.

The district plans to proceed in a format that requires consent to personal information and youth ID verification to prevent crimes using anonymity. Youth IDs can be applied for at nearby community centers.

In July, the district plans to open the first youth community space, Dinga-dong 1st Street, in Sinnae-dong, which will include a game zone, autonomous zone, and cabin zone, serving as spaces for teenagers to maintain Study & Life Balance (Seura-bal).

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope that teenagers can share various aspects of themselves online and have enjoyable times so that the moments spent at home without going out due to COVID-19 will not feel regrettable. Starting with this first youth community space, we will strive to create more communication spaces for teenagers.”
