"My Child Could Also Be a Victim"... Financial Supervisory Service Produces Video to Prevent Illegal Finance Among Youth

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced on the 8th that it has produced two educational videos aimed at preventing illegal financial activities targeting teenagers.

The videos cover topics such as proxy deposits and personal information leaks, which are areas where teenagers are vulnerable to harm.

The FSS has been utilizing various educational content, including videos, to provide financial education aimed at preventing illegal financial damage.

The videos focus on themes such as loan scams, impersonation of government agencies, and illegal bank account transfers.

The FSS produced these videos in response to recent occurrences of new types of financial fraud targeting teenagers, such as high-interest private loans, and the repeated similar damages caused by sophisticated methods.

The focus was on enabling students to clearly recognize illegal financial activities happening around them and to develop the ability to respond appropriately.

To this end, the videos emphasize scenarios involving illegal financial damage related to activities familiar to teenagers, such as fan club activities and online games, and use peer language to increase empathy.

The videos can be viewed on the FSS Financial Education Center website, as well as on popular YouTube and Facebook channels (Dingo) frequently used by teenagers.

The FSS has informed frontline schools through the Ministry of Education to show the videos to students during class time.

The FSS also plans to provide the videos to financial companies participating in the 1 Company 1 School program to actively utilize them in on-site education.
