The event started with a commemorative speech by Hong Soon-cheol, president of the Gyeongnam Youth Instructor Association, and a congratulatory address by Cha Yoon-jae, director of the Gyeongsangnam-do Youth Support Foundation, followed by an online quiz competition to learn about youth policies and culture.

In his commemorative speech, President Hong said, “This day is for youth instructors who are working hard in the field during an unprecedented period of change,” and added, “I hope that the association, related organizations, and those working in the youth sector will come together to raise the social status and rights of instructors in the future.”

In his congratulatory address, Director Cha said, “I sincerely congratulate the Gyeongsangnam-do Youth Instructor Day,” and encouraged, “Thanks to the youth instructors who are fulfilling their roles excellently in their respective positions, the healthy and bright growth of youth is expected to continue. The passage of the ordinance to improve the treatment of workers at youth facilities in the Gyeongnam region is also a great achievement made possible by your hard work.”
