Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin District

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is hosting the ‘2023 Senior Gwangjin Economic Class’ to ensure a stable retirement life for the elderly.

More than half of the victims of large-scale financial frauds such as voice phishing are seniors aged 60 and above, indicating that financial damage among the elderly continues to occur.

In response, the district has prepared a session to prevent financial fraud and provide guidance on stable asset management in old age for seniors. A special lecture titled ‘Prevention of Financial Fraud and Elderly Support Systems’ will be held at Gwangjin-gu Office on November 6th at 10 a.m.

The lecture will cover key information helpful for a comfortable retirement life for seniors, including prevention methods for financial frauds such as ▲voice phishing ▲messenger phishing ▲product sales fraud ▲financial investment fraud, as well as elderly support systems in areas such as ▲income ▲living ▲employment ▲health ▲care ▲capacity building.

The lecture will be conducted by Jeong Min-young, an instructor from the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency’s visiting economic education program. Based on extensive experience, she plans to deliver a beneficial lecture tailored to the perspective of the elderly.

Any senior resident of Gwangjin-gu or district citizens wishing to participate can attend. Registration will be accepted on-site on the day of the lecture, and the course is free of charge.

In August, the district held a special lecture titled ‘Wise Economic Life 2030 That Changes My Life’ for young people in their 20s and 30s, covering basics of finance, smart card usage, and year-end tax settlement tips, which received great response.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “We have prepared a financial special lecture tailored to the elderly to help them prevent financial fraud and enjoy a stable retirement,” adding, “We will continue to provide customized economic education suitable for each age group.”
