This cafe is the first youth-exclusive online communication platform established among Seoul’s districts, created based on a suggestion from local youth emphasizing the need for a centralized channel to access all youth policies. The cafe operates forums on employment, housing, economy, and marriage, and delivers youth policy information through weekly card news “Weekly Youth” and video content “Youth Clip.”

The "Youth Talk Talk" section, where young people share their concerns, features stories about obtaining certifications using information from the cafe, successfully landing full-time jobs, and saving on housing costs. The cafe has ranked among the top in Naver’s "Age/Peer" category and has also been selected as a Naver Neighborhood Cafe.

To celebrate Youth Day, the district has also prepared offline events. Until the 20th, the Seoul Youth Center in Yeongdeungpo will host a youth week event called "Youth Lucky Seven." The event offers daily programs with different themes, including healing tea gatherings, Popcorn Talk Talk, royal tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) making, a moonlit songpyeon (half-moon rice cake) session for young people from outside of Seoul, and mental wellness workshops.

On Youth Day itself, September 19, the "Youth Day Celebration Square" will be held, featuring mission-based booths such as "Youth Mailbox," "Communication Panel," "AI Life Four-Cut," and "Capsule Draw." On the 20th, the week will conclude with the "Making and Sharing Jeon, Bonding Together" program, where traditional holiday foods are shared.

The district plans to use the Youth Cafe as a base to guide young residents on policies and benefits such as national qualification exam fee support, education on the fourth industrial revolution and architecture, public jobs, and economic academies.

District Mayor Yoojin Cho stated, "The Naver Cafe, which originated from ideas proposed by youth, has grown to become the strongest link connecting young people and the district administration. Based on this vibrant communication platform, we will actively listen to the voices of young residents and continue to implement policies with tangible, practical impact that youth can truly experience."
