Gangseo-gu to Hold "Accidental Youth Life" Event on September 18-19

Financial Planning, AI Lectures, and Housing Counseling Offered
For Youths Aged 19 to 39
Applications Open Until September 10

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Jin Kyohun) announced on August 31 that it will hold the youth support event “Accidental Youth Life” at the Seoul Youth Center Gangseo for two days, from September 18 to 19, in celebration of Youth Day.

Last year, Jin Kyohun, the district mayor, gave a greeting at the special lecture event of "Accidental Youth Life." Provided by Gangseo-gu.

This event is designed to provide information and hands-on programs essential for youths’ daily lives and career development, as well as to help them easily access various support policies and local resources. The program will be organized under three themes: “Smart Youth Life,” “Refreshing Youth Life,” and “Unique Youth Life.”

“Smart Youth Life” will feature expert lectures on topics such as financial planning, investment strategies in financial products, resume and cover letter writing, and using artificial intelligence for work. Science communicator Sunho Lee ("Exo Teacher") will deliver a special lecture titled “How to Reconnect Yourself in the Age of AI.”

In “Refreshing Youth Life,” personalized counseling sessions will be offered in collaboration with professional organizations to address common concerns for young people, such as housing, employment, and asset management. There will also be a self-understanding program where participants can explore their personality and strengths using birth color and tarot cards.

“Unique Youth Life” will present programs that reflect the interests of young people, such as making vegan cupcakes, styling and personal color analysis for interviews, and handicraft workshops. Ten local youth clubs will participate directly in planning, operating the programs, and creating promotional materials. In addition, an event zone—featuring activities such as making fairy jar terrariums and a stamp tour—will be open for on-site participation without pre-registration.

Youths wishing to participate can apply online by September 10 at https://buly.kr/90dcOdh. Applicants must be between 19 and 39 years old and either reside or have their daily life in Seoul. Priority will be given to new participants among those who reside or have their daily life in Gangseo-gu, and registration may close early depending on the number of applicants per program.

District Mayor Jin Kyohun stated, “I hope this event helps young people work through the real-life concerns they face and gain new energy,” adding, “We will continue to implement meaningful youth policies to help young people stably plan their future and realize their dreams.”
