Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) will open affordable study cafes (youth study rooms) near Sookdaeipgu Station and Sinyongsan Station on Subway Line 4 on the 15th of this month.

The youth study rooms located in Cheongpa-dong Community Center (6 Cheongparo 49-gil) and Hangangno-dong Community Center (28 Hangangdaero 38-gil) buildings have been remodeled into study cafes equipped with the latest facilities.

The Cheongpa youth study room has 43 seats, and the Hangang youth study room has 67 seats, featuring facilities such as fingerprint recognition access systems, individual focus seats, group desks, wheelchair-friendly seats, study rooms, rest areas, and personal lockers.

Safety has been ensured using a smart system. When youth enter, a notification function informs parents of their entry status, and emergency bells are installed at wheelchair-friendly seats to allow users to request help from staff if needed. Youth opinions from the local area were reflected from the design stage, and during the temporary operation period until the 10th, the facilities will be free of charge to collect user feedback on improvements.

The usage fees range from 500 to 2,000 KRW for youth and 1,000 to 5,000 KRW for adults, with options for hourly and daily passes. A one-month subscription costs 50,000 KRW for youth and 120,000 KRW for adults, and usage fees are waived for vulnerable groups (recipients of national basic livelihood security, children under foster care, etc.). The study cafes operate six days a week (closed on Mondays and legal holidays) from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Park Hee-young, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “I am pleased that youth can study in a better environment,” adding, “We will remodel other youth study rooms operated by the district into study cafes to strongly support the creative and positive growth of local youth.”

Meanwhile, the district will hold opening ceremonies at the Cheongpa youth study room on the 12th and the Hangang youth study room on the 13th.
