'If You Have a Youth ID, 1,000 Benefits Await'... Incheon City Promotes Group Issuance to Schools and Organizations

Incheon City has actively promoted the issuance of youth ID cards through schools and youth facilities to encourage obtaining them, which offer various discount benefits in culture, leisure, transportation, and more.

The youth ID card, serving as an identification card for youths aged 9 to 18, can be applied for by the individual or a proxy at the nearest eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare center regardless of the address, and the issuance is free of charge.

In particular, for the convenience of youths, group applications (10 or more) can also be made through the school they are attending or the youth and child welfare facilities they are using.

According to the "Youth Welfare Support Act," presenting a youth ID card at transportation, cultural, and leisure facilities grants discount (preferential) benefits. Currently, there are about 1,000 available discount benefits.

Discounts include 20-40% off bus and subway fares, free or 20% off admission to museums, art galleries, and parks, 10-50% off at natural recreation forests, 30-50% off at performance venues (self-planned performances), 1,000 to 3,000 KRW off movie tickets, and 10% off at Kyobo Bookstore and Youngpoong Bookstore. For detailed youth discount and preferential benefits, please refer to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family website.

An official from Incheon City stated, "The youth ID card holds value beyond a simple ID. With various benefits and conveniences, it will become a reliable friend in youths' daily lives," and added, "We will actively promote the use of the youth ID card to increase its adoption."
