'Seoul Young Tech' In-Person Consultations Close Early... Group Consultations Begin in September

From September, Biweekly 'Young Tech Group Clinic' with up to 8 Participants on Salary, Investment, and Insurance Topics

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City’s free financial counseling and education program, ‘Seoul Youngtech,’ continues to gain popularity amid the ‘Godsaeng (God生) Living’ trend. Starting in September, it will also launch the ‘Seoul Youngtech Group Clinic.’

On the 25th, Seoul City announced that since the launch of one-on-one face-to-face counseling on February 28, applications have flooded in, with over 95% of the target number (2,472 people) already reached by early August. Accordingly, the application period for one-on-one face-to-face counseling, originally scheduled to close at the end of November, will be closed early on the 30th.

From September, Seoul City will also newly start the ‘Seoul Youngtech Group Clinic.’ This program groups young people with similar financial concerns into small groups of about eight members for in-depth counseling with professional counselors. It was established in response to young people’s ongoing demand for customized advanced education and counseling.

Kim Cheol-hee, Director of Seoul City’s Future Youth Planning Division, said, “Starting in September, reflecting the reality of worsening asset situations, we will operate in-depth group counseling on topics of high interest to young people,” adding, “Through various programs such as online and offline counseling and topic-based group counseling, we plan to provide customized services to a total of 10,000 young people this year.”
