The city announced that it will operate a two-day, one-night matchmaking program for unmarried men and women at major tourist attractions in Sangju from October 31 to November 1, 2026.

The event is open to 40 single men and women born between 1985 and 1999 from across the country.

Participants will engage in rotation matching talks, random dates, couple experience classes, youth pub and standing parties, as well as a couple tour on Gyeongcheon Island.

Applications can be submitted via email from September 23 to October 20, 2026, with more details available on the Sangju City Hall website's announcements.

Yoo Heonjong, policy chief for population affairs, said, "We hope this becomes an opportunity for young adults to naturally communicate and form meaningful connections," adding, "We will also continue efforts to create a marriage-friendly atmosphere."

Now in its fourth year, Sangju City's singles matchmaking program saw 13 couples form during the first half of this year.

The city expects that this program—combining opportunities for local tourism and personal connections—will serve as a practical stepping stone for young people with fewer chances to meet new people to move toward marriage and settling down.
