Seoul City was recognized for major achievements such as establishing the '2025 Seoul Youth Comprehensive Plan Youth Happiness Project,' implementing the largest-scale youth policies among local governments last year, and operating youth participation organizations and youth autonomous budgets.

Kim Cheol-hee, Head of the Future Youth Planning Group of Seoul City, said, “Seoul City's youth policies are maturing, and we will continue to strive to create a youth-friendly social environment to provide deeper support to youth who need more policies.” The awards ceremony will be held at the Youth Day Festival hosted by Youth and Future on September 17 at Olympic Park.
