On the 13th, Yongin City announced on the 14th that it signed a "Business Agreement for Legal Support for Yongin Youth" with the Kim & Chang Social Contribution Committee at City Hall. The signing ceremony was attended by Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin, Mok Young-jun, Chairman of the Kim & Chang Social Contribution Committee, and other officials.

The Kim & Chang Social Contribution Committee is an organization established by Kim & Chang Law Firm, the largest law firm in Korea, for social contribution activities. It engages in various public interest activities such as outreach legal education and youth legal education. Last year, it conducted legal education on housing, workplace life, and finances for citizens at the Seoul Youth Center in collaboration with Seoul City.

Under this agreement, the city will recruit young people who wish to receive legal education, and the Kim & Chang Social Contribution Committee will provide free legal education quarterly starting in the second half of this year through its affiliated professional lawyers, enabling young people preparing for independence in areas such as housing and labor to acquire the legal knowledge necessary for daily life.

The city has initiated legal education for youth because recent social issues such as rental fraud have been concentrated among the younger generation. The city explained that it prepared this education with the judgment that helping young people thoroughly understand relevant laws is essential to minimizing their damage.

Mayor Lee said, "We are grateful that the Kim & Chang Social Contribution Committee is joining us in activities to prevent and remedy rental fraud," adding, "I hope this will become an activity that adds wings to the various policies the city supports for youth." Chairman Mok said, "One of the most important public interest activities of a law firm is legal support for the future generation, the youth," and added, "We will do our best to ensure this education contributes to the housing stability of young people."
