Hana Financial Group announced on the 30th that a launch ceremony for the Youth Small Business Commercial Area Revitalization Project had been held the previous day at the Sunshine Hotel in Daejeon together with the Small Enterprise and Market Service. The theme was "Changes in Commercial Districts Led by Youth."

This launch ceremony was part of the "Hana On, Youth On" project, an initiative under the "Support for Revitalizing Commercial Districts by Young Small Business Owners" work agreement concluded between Hana Financial Group and the Small Enterprise and Market Service in June 2026. Over a three-month period, Hana Financial Group and the Small Enterprise and Market Service publicly recruited participants with ideas for revitalizing local commercial districts, ultimately selecting 15 teams of young small business owners, totaling about 100 participants. These teams will receive expert consulting, budgetary support, and customized financial assistance.

Ham Young-joo, Chairman of Hana Financial Group, who attended the event, said, "The promise we made in June to work together for the growth of young small business owners and the revitalization of local commercial districts is now coming to fruition. We will continue to support this effort alongside the Small Enterprise and Market Service, so that the growth of young small business owners injects new energy into community business areas and that these achievements spread nationwide."
