Finance and Happiness Network to Host Financial Culture Talk Show for Newlyweds

The Finance and Happiness Network will host a financial culture talk show focusing on newlyweds’ financial concerns and asset management.

The Finance and Happiness Network announced on September 17 that it will hold the financial culture talk show for newlyweds, “Our First Money Life: Money Money Happy Talk,” at Ondream Hall in Myeong-dong, Seoul, on October 15. The event is sponsored by the Financial Supervisory Service and Kakao Pay Securities.

This event is designed to help newlyweds resolve financial concerns and conflicts and to foster a healthy financial culture for couples, based on the Financial Supervisory Service's "Financial Life Guidebook by Life Cycle." Topics such as psychology, financial planning, and asset management—essential financial issues for newlyweds—will be discussed together with experts in each field.

During the talk show, comedian Kim Kiri and actress Moon Jiin, a real-life newlywed couple, will serve as “Newlywed Empathy MCs,” presenting concerns and questions about money problems experienced in married life. Jung Yoon-young, President of the Finance and Happiness Network, will serve as the talk leader and financial consumer protection expert, facilitating the panel discussion.

Cognitive psychologist Kim Kyung-il will address the topic “Why Do Couples Perceive the Same Money Issues Differently?” and introduce differences in personal tendencies and communication methods between spouses. Lee Jin-woo, investment and economic commentator, will explain the basic principles of long-term asset formation with his talk, “Ten Years from Now—How Should We Prepare Our Assets?”

Certified Public Accountant Kim Yehee (CFP) will share practical methods for household financial planning under the theme, “How Can We Design Today’s Happiness and Tomorrow’s Stability Together?” Announcer and broadcaster Oh Sang-jin will speak about newlyweds’ financial lives based on his own experiences, with the topic “Money and Happiness—How Can Our Couple Find Balance?”

The event is open to newlyweds and engaged couples, and 100 couples (200 participants) will be selected by lottery. Applications can be submitted through the event page in the securities tab of the Kakao Pay app or by scanning the QR code on the promotional poster, until September 29. The event will take place on October 15 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Ondream Hall in Myeong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.

A representative from the Finance and Happiness Network commented, “As two people with different consumption habits and outlooks on money come together to form a family, money issues become the most important communication challenge. We hope this will serve as a starting point for newlyweds to set standards for joint accounts and household expense sharing, and to establish priorities and risk management principles for housing, retirement, and investment as financial partners.”
