Specifically, in the quantitative evaluation, the Youth Center earned high marks for annual program operations, youth participation rate, weekend and evening operations, and efficient budget execution. In the qualitative evaluation, it was highly regarded for its operation of "Youth House" and the "Cheongchun Sinjakro" cultural program.

In particular, "Youth House" has established itself as a flagship initiative of Hwasun County by providing affordable housing support and integrating youth employment support programs into a "one-stop support system," thereby helping young people settle stably in the region.

Hwasun County is implementing a variety of youth policies to address the fundamental challenges of an aging population and population decline in the region.

Jo Mihwa, Head of the Population and Youth Policy Division, stated, "The youth-tailored programs and continuous operational efforts centered on the Youth Center have led to these positive outcomes."
