The Korea Exchange announced on April 24 that it had delivered 385 million won in "KRX Dreamnarae" sponsorship funds to the Busan Regional Office of the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation to support independent youths preparing for self-reliance in the Busan area.

The "KRX Dreamnarae" program, which the exchange has been operating since 2022, provides up to 32 million won per person over a maximum of five years as self-development and living stabilization funds for youths starting their independence without sufficient preparation. The program also offers independence education along with career and financial consulting.

This year, 10 youths preparing for self-reliance ahead of being discharged from care were selected as the fourth class of the Dreamnarae program, and a launching ceremony was held. Participants from the first to third classes also attended the ceremony to share their experiences and know-how on becoming independent.

Jung Eun-bo, Chairman and CEO of the Korea Exchange, emphasized, "I hope that self-reliant youths can settle stably in society and plan their own futures," adding, "We will continue to provide ongoing attention and support in collaboration with the local community."
