[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gyeongbuk Province is providing opportunities for positive perceptions of meeting potential partners through club activity support for unmarried men and women of marriageable age who have fewer chances to meet the opposite sex due to busy daily lives and other practical circumstances, and is spreading a marriage-friendly consensus.

This project is held annually in the first and second halves of the year in collaboration with the Daegu·Gyeongbuk branch of the Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association.

This second half of the year, applications are accepted from the 5th to the 23rd of this month, and club activities will be conducted from October for the finally selected participants.

From October 1st to 8th, a total of three classes (cooking, pottery, yacht experience) will be held in Gimcheon, Goryeong, and Uljin. Each class will have around 20 participants.

The target participants are unmarried men and women aged 25 to 39 (born between 1982 and 1996) who reside or work in Gyeongbuk, with a total of 60 people planned to be recruited.

Participants will be finally selected through a screening process including document submission and qualification verification.

Required documents such as the application form, personal information consent form, and certificate of employment can be submitted via email to the Daegu·Gyeongbuk branch of the Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association.

The selection criteria include ▲resident registration address ▲employment within the province ▲average age of participants ▲and a first-come, first-served screening process. Selected participants will be individually notified on the 26th of this month.

Detailed information can be found through the Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association (Daegu·Gyeongbuk branch) and city/county websites.

The youth club activity project, which concluded once in the first half of this year, attracted high interest with the number of applicants reaching five times the recruitment quota.

Participants increased their mutual affinity through various club activities and integrated workshops, with over 90% expressing satisfaction, showing a high level of positive response.

As a result, a total of 44 couples met, and 11 couples successfully formed relationships.

Kim Hoseop, Director of the Child and Women’s Happiness Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, said, “The perception and value of marriage are relatively weakening across society, and the trend of remaining single is increasing. We hope that meetings through natural hobby activities to spread the meaning and importance of marriage will create a healthy marriage culture and serve as an opportunity to improve positive perceptions about it.”
