This event is being held in celebration of "Youth Day," which is designated as the third Saturday of September each year under the "Framework Act on Youth." The event aims to promote youth development and support, as well as to raise social awareness of youth issues.

This year's theme is "It's Enough! You're Doing Well, You're Growing," and the Taebaek City Youth Council is directly responsible for planning and managing the event, adding significance by enabling young people to participate and grow independently. In particular, under the theme "Youth Day in September, Starting Again at Nine Stations," a variety of experiences and programs will be offered at nine stations, including Welcome Station and Launching Station.

At each station, diverse programs that young people can enjoy and relate to are prepared, such as: △ Youth profile card exhibition and puzzle completion ceremony △ Wooden barbell lifting game, youth photo booth, RC car experience △ Tarot card counseling △ Youth startup presentations and Youth Changchang Route BI experience △ Performances by popular and local singers, including Monday Kiz (Lee Jinsung) and Ashatree.

A Taebaek City official stated, "This year's Youth Day event is organized around nine stations prepared by local youth. We ask for your interest and participation as we cheer on the passion and growth of young people. We hope that visiting youth can escape from daily life and gain renewed energy."

Meanwhile, the week starting from Youth Day will be operated as Youth Week. On September 24 at 6:30 p.m., the "Youth Mind Recharge Concert" will be held in front of the Taebaek Youth Changchang Center. The event will begin with a pre-show by indie band August Brothers, followed by a special lecture by writer and comedian Ko Myunghwan titled "How Do I Find the Answers to Life?" There will also be time for youth experts and young people to freely converse.

Additionally, from September 26 to 28, a three-day forum will be held at the Youth Changchang Center, covering various topics related to youth life such as employment, entrepreneurship, and arts and culture. Local creators from other regions, cultural and arts planners, and professors will participate in the forum.
