Hampyeong-gun Provides 200,000 KRW Annual Support for 'Jeonnam Youth Culture Welfare Card'

Applications Accepted from the 1st to the 30th of Next Month, Targeting Youth Aged 21-28 Who Have Resided in the Province for Over 2 Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that it will promote the ‘Jeonnam Youth Culture Welfare Card’ project, which provides 200,000 KRW per year in cultural welfare expenses per youth individual, in cooperation with Jeollanam-do.

The ‘Jeonnam Youth Culture Welfare Card’ project, launched for the first time this year, aims to provide cultural life enjoyment and self-development opportunities to the youth generation, thereby promoting regional settlement of young people and improving the vulnerable population structure.

The support target is youths aged 21 to 28 (born between 1994 and 2001) who have had their address in Jeollanam-do since January 1, 2020, and have lived there for more than two years.

However, public institution workers receiving welfare points (cards), recipients of the ‘Out-of-School Youth Education Allowance’ and ‘Jeonnam Women Farmers and Fishermen Voucher’ are excluded, and those eligible for the ‘Munhwa Nuri Card’ will only receive the difference of 100,000 KRW.

The application period is from April 1 to April 30, and applications can be made both online and offline.

Online applications can be submitted through the ‘Jeonnam Youth Culture Welfare Card Project Application’ popup on the NongHyup Bank website during the application period.

For offline applications, applicants can visit the local town or township office with the application form, transcript, and other related documents to apply.

If the application is completed in April, after verifying eligibility, the card will be issued as a check card in June, and the support funds must be used within the year of issuance.

The card can be used offline only at venues such as performances, exhibitions, sports, book purchases, and tourism within Jeonnam province.

However, since the usage locations may differ somewhat from those of the Munhwa Nuri Card affiliated stores, users should be cautious when using it.

Meanwhile, although the eligible age range is 21 to 28 this year, it will be gradually expanded downward by one year annually, supporting ages 20 to 28 in 2023 and 19 to 28 in 2024.
