Upbit Opens Applications for Third Virtual Asset Lecture

“Up Class Campus”
To Visit KAIST, Sookmyung Women's University and Ewha Womans University in the Second Semester

Dunamu, which operates the Upbit virtual asset exchange, will hold the third in a series of special lectures on virtual assets for university students.

Dunamu said it will hold the third “Up Class Campus” session and is accepting applications. Up Class is an environmental, social and governance (ESG) education program tailored to different generations, designed to deepen understanding of virtual assets and help participants explore career paths. The third Up Class Campus session follows events held in September 2025 and May 2026. To date, the program has visited 11 universities nationwide and met with more than 2,700 students.

This session will visit the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Graduate School of Management of Technology, Sookmyung Women's University College of Economics and Business, and Ewha Womans University College of Business Administration. In Session 1, a Dunamu executive will give a lecture on “Digital Assets and Insights into the Future of Finance.” In Session 2, two employees, including alumni of each university, will explain how they prepared for their careers.

The KAIST lecture will be held at 2 p.m. on November 2. Speakers will include alumnus Kim Dong-min, chief technology officer (CTO), an Upbit iOS app developer, and an exchange backend developer. At Sookmyung Women's University on November 3 and Ewha Womans University on November 9, both at 5 p.m., Yoon Sun-joo, chief brand impact officer (CBIO) and a female executive, will lead Session 1. Session 2 will feature a virtual asset manager and a tax accountant at Sookmyung Women's University, and an Upbit service planner and a data engineer at Ewha Womans University.

Participation is free, and applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the advance registration website. All attendees will receive a welcome kit, including a Bitcoin-themed money cushion, as well as snacks. Other prizes, including fifth-generation AirPods, a premium long umbrella, a travel pouch set, Bitcoin gift cards and Naver Pay gift certificates, will also be given away through a lucky draw.

“At the Up Class special lecture last May, I was able to speak directly with young people and see their strong interest in and potential for the future of finance,” said Oh Kyung-seok, CEO of Dunamu. “As digital assets are becoming an important pillar of future finance, we will continue to expand educational and engagement opportunities so that young people can correctly understand changes in the industry and take the initiative in preparing for the future.”
