Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) has announced that it will hold the “Busan Youth Cheer-Up (Go) Event” through the official Youth G Zone YouTube channel “Busan Youth, Our Stories” (www.youtube.com/@busanyouth.official

), in which youth can directly participate.


This event commemorates the launch of the Youth G Zone YouTube channel introduced last July and is organized to actively reflect the voices of young people in Busan and communicate with them directly.

○ The special event <Busan Youth Cheer-Up (Go) Project> invites young people to share various experiences, such as employment, career changes, challenges, and failures. Two participants will be selected to receive a supportive coffee truck at their affiliated institution or school. The stories of the selected youth will be made into videos and shared through the YouTube channel for other young people to view.

○ The general event <Lucky1839 Project> will provide energy drink vouchers to 1,839 youth chosen by drawing from among those who subscribe to the YouTube channel and leave a supportive comment.

○ The event participation period is from today (the 20th) until September 2, and the winners will be announced on September 8.

○ Further details on how to participate can be found on the Youth G Zone ▲YouTube (youtube.com/@busanyouth.official) ▲Instagram (instagram.com/busanyouth.official) ▲Busan Youth Platform website (young.busan.go.kr).


The City plans to operate the newly launched YouTube channel as a participatory platform that shares the activities and experiences of participants in youth policies and users of youth spaces.

○ Reflecting the characteristics of youth support programs in the fields of culture, space, and education, young people will create videos of their participation processes, and use the platform to share and circulate the outcomes of their activities.

○ Furthermore, the City intends to use the channel as an official platform to widely disseminate video content created by young people and convey their voices to the broader public.


Meanwhile, the City has promoted youth policies and provided guidance on youth support programs through the Youth G Zone Instagram and the Busan Youth Platform website.

○ The “Youth G Zone Instagram,” launched in July 2022, currently has 10,077 followers and has helped to broadly share various youth support programs offered by the City and the 16 district and county offices in areas such as employment, housing, and livelihood support.

○ The “Youth G Zone Busan Youth Platform Website,” launched in December 2022, provides detailed guidance on the entire process of youth support programs — from application to assistance — in a manner tailored to the needs of young people.


Kim Gui-ok, Director General of the Youth Industry-Academia Cooperation Bureau, stated, “The newly launched Youth G Zone YouTube channel will go beyond merely promoting policies; it will serve as a new platform where youth can record and share their own stories with the world.” She added, “We hope that many young people will actively participate and extend their support so that the ‘Busan Youth Cheer-Up (Go) Event’ becomes a meaningful occasion where youth share their experiences and cheer each other on.”
