On the 6th at 2 PM, Gyeongbuk Province will hold the launch ceremony of the ‘Gyeongsangbuk-do Hometown Love Youth Promotion Team’ at the provincial office to revitalize the Hometown Love Donation Program.

The Hometown Love Youth Promotion Team is composed of young experts with talents and skills in various fields such as SNS, content creation, marketing, program development, AI, writing, traditional arts, singers, and Korean traditional music (Gugak).

The youth promotion team plans to carry out the ‘Gyeongbuk Love 1013 Campaign,’ which encourages donating 100,000 KRW to Gyeongbuk Province and receiving benefits worth 130,000 KRW, with all activities conducted as talent donations.

The Hometown Love Donation Program allows donations to any city, county, or province other than the individual’s registered resident address, with an annual limit of up to 5 million KRW per person. Donations receive a full tax credit up to 100,000 KRW, a 16.5% tax credit on amounts exceeding 100,000 KRW, and thank-you gifts worth up to 30% of the donation amount.

A Gyeongbuk Province official explained, “If you donate 100,000 KRW, you get a 100,000 KRW tax credit plus thank-you gifts worth 30,000 KRW, so you effectively receive 130,000 KRW back.”

The promotion team will focus on promoting participation among young people working in companies in the Seoul metropolitan area to expand donation participation.

The launch ceremony will proceed with the awarding of appointment certificates to the promotion team, self-introductions and promotion plan presentations by representatives from each field, and a commemorative photo session. Trot singer Miss Im will perform the ‘Gyeongbuk Hometown Love Donation Program promotional song,’ and SBS’s 8th public recruitment comedian Choi Ki-jung will also participate.

Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, said, “For the Hometown Love Donation Program, which was implemented to respond to regional extinction and revitalize the local economy, promotion of the system is most important for its establishment. I hope the activities of the youth promotion team will lead to a culture of hometown love donations and greatly contribute to regional economic development.”
