KRX Future Star is a derivatives study group for university students in the Busan area operated by the Korea Exchange. It is a program that nurtures financial talent through special lectures on derivatives and participation in capital market events.

The launch ceremony was attended by Jung Eun-bo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, Kim Kwang-hoe, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Busan, vice presidents from six participating universities, and representatives of Busan civic organizations, who offered congratulations and encouragement.

Now in its fourth year, Future Star expanded the number of selected students from 51 last year to 63 this year, based on high student participation and achievements.

The Busan-area university students participating in this year's KRX Future Star will study the derivatives market with KRX from next month until October. In addition to supporting derivatives study activities, the Exchange plans to provide various programs such as expert lectures and discussion competitions on current financial issues.

In his encouragement speech, Chairman Jung said, "I hope that the university students in Busan will grow into experts in derivatives and that this will serve as an opportunity for Busan to advance as an international financial city."
