[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Shinhan Bank announced on the 18th that it will participate in the 2020 '9th Korea Education Donation Expo,' held on an online platform from the 14th to the 20th, and operate an online experience center.

Hosted by the Ministry of Education, the '9th Korea Education Donation Expo' is conducted under the theme "Growing Dreams Together through Education Donation! Growing Up, Doing Well." Due to the COVID-19 situation, it is the first time since the expo's inception in 2012 that an online platform is being utilized to widely provide various themed online educational content services, aiming to expand opportunities for experiencing educational resources outside of school.

At this expo, Shinhan Bank plans to meet audiences by offering a real-time online performance of the 'Shinhan Shining Star Financial Education Musical The Bad Voice,' created for youth, on Economic and Financial Day.

Launched last year, the 'Shinhan Shining Star Project' was designed to provide out-of-school youth interested in cultural and artistic fields such as musicals with opportunities for career exploration, and to instill self-esteem and a sense of achievement through production and participation. Every year, the project conducts performances with financial themes to instill proper financial values in youth.

This year, to prevent increasing illegal financial transaction damages among youth, the musical 'The Bad Voice' was produced focusing on topics such as voice phishing and part-time jobs as withdrawal agents for ghost accounts, and is being promoted to youth through untact (contactless) performances.

Additionally, financial education animations that interestingly convey necessary financial knowledge to elementary school students using the Shinhan Bank Sol character, and banking career mentoring education created to assist middle and high school students in career exploration, will be continuously provided through the expo's online site.

A Shinhan Bank official stated, "We are donating education with the hope that it will provide children and youth, the future leaders of the nation, with new experiences and opportunities to discover hopeful dreams for the future." He added, "We will continue to practice Shinhan Financial Group's mission of making the world better through finance and warm finance by providing more diverse and sincere financial education."
