Jeonju City held the first event for “Jeonjuro Wasseom,” its local settlement project for young people, at the Dalkom Box City Hall branch that day. The event was designed to give young people, who have few opportunities to meet new people because of work and their professional lives, a chance to socialize in a relaxed setting.

Eligible participants were unmarried working adults aged 28 to 36 who live in Jeonju City or work at a workplace located there. Applications were accepted from September 29 to October 11, and 110 people applied. A lottery selected 40 participants in total, with 20 men and 20 women.

In a relaxed cafe atmosphere, participants took part in recreational activities that included self-introductions and dating coaching. They then got to know one another through one-on-one rotating conversations with every other participant.

Although some participants seemed a little awkward at first, they began chatting naturally as the program continued. The event gave them time to socialize and share their interests and thoughts with people they might not easily meet in their daily lives.

Jeonju City expects the event to broaden opportunities for young people to socialize and help them build new relationships in the region.

Yuk Munju, head of Jeonju City’s Youth Vitality Division, said, “I hope this first Jeonjuro Wasseom event brought young people a sense of excitement and energy in their everyday lives. I am grateful to the young people who showed such great interest from the very first event.” She added, “We will continue working to help young people enjoy life in Jeonju and build meaningful relationships.”
