Park Yeon-ju, head of the Seo-gu Health Administration Division, said, “After the college entrance exam, teenagers may engage in deviant behaviors such as drinking and smoking due to a sense of liberation, and teenagers and people in their twenties have a strong tendency to imitate celebrities, so it is necessary to preemptively block curiosity about drug use.”


She added, “We will take an interest and do our best so that youth and young people, who are the future leaders, can grow up safely and healthily without being exposed to harmful environments.”
