Mayor Lee Sang-il attended the event and expressed his commitment to actively improve the environment and establish educational programs so that students in Yongin can grow into talents who will lead South Korea.

Mayor Lee stated, "The Yongin Youth Future Foundation prepares and operates the Career and Academic Path Recipe every year to help students avoid confusion caused by changes to the high school credit system and the university admissions system. I believe the special lecture by Ms. Cho Bokyung, who teaches at Yongin Samgye High School and serves as a college admissions guidance leader for the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, as well as the lecture by admissions expert Lee Youngdeok, who has provided college entrance consulting at Daeseong Academy for 35 years, will be very helpful to parents."

He continued, "With Yongin Special City experiencing growth through various changes, including the implementation of a mega semiconductor project, and with the population steadily increasing, our city must also strengthen its educational capabilities and infrastructure. We are running a variety of career exploration programs for elementary, middle, and high school students, so I hope parents will also pay close attention and gain useful information and wisdom."

The "Career and Academic Path Recipe," hosted by the Yongin Youth Future Foundation's Yongin Future Education Center, is a program designed to help students understand the evolving educational environment and admissions system and to support them in systematically planning their career and academic paths.

Approximately 200 parents from the region attended the special lecture, which offered practical career and admissions consulting from admissions experts.

The lectures were conducted by Ms. Cho Bokyung, a college admissions guidance leader for the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, and admissions expert Lee Youngdeok, who has 35 years of experience in the field.

Ms. Cho delivered a lecture on "Career-Oriented Academic Planning," providing detailed explanations on key information about the high school credit system, methods for managing school records, and customized preparation strategies by grade level.
