On November 25, Hoseo University announced that it had been chosen as the operating institution for the 'Keungil (CNGYL) Program,' an overseas language training project for youth in South Chungcheong Province, organized by the South Chungcheong Provincial Government and the South Chungcheong Lifelong Education Talent Development Institute.

The Keungil Program is a public overseas language training initiative that provides level-based English education and local cultural exchange activities for high school students in South Chungcheong Province.

The training will take place at the BGC Center in Balanga, Bataan Province, Philippines, during January and February 2026. It will consist of intensive language classes, activities in collaboration with local universities, exchanges with regional schools, and cultural experience programs.

Aero K Airlines will subsidize airfare to ensure that students from low-income, multicultural, and rural families can participate without financial burden.

Balanga City is regarded as an educational and administrative hub in the Philippines, recognized for its public safety and youth protection environment. The BGC Center is equipped with an intensive English education system, including one-on-one classes, dormitory-style living facilities, and medical service support.

To this end, Hoseo University has established a comprehensive support system covering student safety management, training monitoring, residential guidance, career education programs, and post-return follow-up activities.

Vice President Kim Hongyeol stated, "We have established an integrated support system to ensure the safety and learning effectiveness of the program, from local operations to career linkage after students return home."

Professor Jang Myunggyun, head of the project, said, "We plan to operate ongoing support programs based on the learning and career data collected during the training process."
