Dream UP is Kyobo Securities' flagship social contribution program designed to establish a support system centered on future generations and strengthen community participation. For this third cohort of Dream UP, a total of 10 candidates were selected based on recommendations from welfare organizations such as Sangnok Orphanage and Seoul Seongrowon, which have long-standing ties with Kyobo Securities, as well as the social cooperative Dream Makers.

The selected youths each received a scholarship of 2 million KRW, totaling 20 million KRW, to support stable independent living through career exploration, qualification acquisition, and self-development.

CEO Lee Seok-ki stated, "I hope that young people taking their first steps into society will lead a healthy society with positive thoughts and good influence," adding, "We will continue to expand support for future generations, including children and adolescents from marginalized groups."

Since last year, Kyobo Securities has selected Dream UP scholarship recipients twice annually and has provided over 50 million KRW in sponsorship funds to a total of 24 self-reliant youths to date.
