Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it held support coffee truck events on September 29 and 30 for the winners of the special event “Busan Youth Gi(氣) Saligo(Go) Project,” which was organized through the official YouTube channel of Youth G(Z)one, “Busan Youth, Our Stories” (@busanyouth.official).

This event was prepared to commemorate the channel’s launch in August, to directly capture the voices of young people, and to share diverse experiences related to employment, career changes, challenges, and failures.

[September 29] The first winner, Mr. Kim ○-won, is currently participating in the pre-navigation officer training course at the Korea Institute of Maritime and Fisheries Technology and is dedicating himself to becoming a reliable navigation officer contributing to the nation.

Mr. Kim said, “Sometimes I get exhausted from the endless study and physical training, but what I need most is warm encouragement like ‘You’re doing well.’ This coffee truck support will be a symbol of precious rest and encouragement for navigation cadets.”

The coffee truck event took place at Gamman Citizen’s Park, where the training vessel was docked, and provided great strength to 150 navigation cadets and their colleagues.

[September 30] Another winner, Ms. Yoon ○-jeong, affiliated with the Busan Film Commission, participated to support young creators working in film industry startups located in the Visual Industry Center.
Ms. Yoon said, “Doing film in Busan requires a weighty determination stronger than the wind. Rather than grand support, small encouragements felt in the field mean a lot to young creators.”
The coffee truck event was held near the Visual Industry Center, where more than 200 young workers from film startups, directors, and creators gathered to share warm encouragement.

This support coffee truck event was more than just a special occasion; it carried great significance as it provided an opportunity to respect and share the real concerns and experiences of young people. At the site, participants shared their stories with one another, creating a supportive atmosphere that was met with positive responses.

The City plans to further develop the Youth G(Z)one YouTube channel not just as a promotional outlet for policies, but also as a communication platform for spreading content directly created and participated in by young people.
In addition, Busan Metropolitan City will continue to operate diverse programs that allow youth to voice their stories and support each other, thereby fostering an environment where young people can grow and take on challenges.

Kim Gwi-ok, Director General of Youth-Industry Cooperation Bureau, stated, “This ‘Busan Youth Gi(氣) Saligo(Go) Project’ was a valuable opportunity to listen directly to the voices of young people and empathize with them. We will continue to provide various opportunities for young people to share and support each other’s experiences.”
She added, “We ask for your continued interest and participation so that Busan youth can freely express their voices through this YouTube channel and help build better youth policies based on them.”
