From Seed Money to AI Asset Portfolios: Busan to Hold Second-Half Financial Empowerment Classes for Young People

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Chun Jae-soo) announced that it will hold a series of three financial education lectures for young people, beginning October 19, under the theme "Busan Youth: Invest Wisely, Not on Borrowed Money." The second-half program aims to help young people achieve financial independence.

The event, jointly organized by Busan Metropolitan City, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Busan Employers Federation, and the Busan Economic Promotion Agency, is designed to promote sound asset-building practices among young people. It encourages participants to avoid excessive borrowing for investment and instead build their assets wisely through financial knowledge.

Following the highly successful first-half lecture series, which attracted approximately 1,600 young participants, the second-half program has been further enhanced to provide practical guidance on preparing for the future amid rapidly changing technological and economic conditions.

The lectures will begin on October 19 at the Main Auditorium on the first floor of Busan City Hall. Each session will accommodate 500 participants, for a total of 1,500 young people. Leading experts will address three key areas: initial asset building, financial assets, and future assets.

The first session, scheduled for October 19, will feature personal finance YouTuber Kim Jjanbu (Kim Ji-eun), who will present "From an Empty Account to a Growing Balance: How to Make the Most of Your First Paycheck." The lecture will offer practical advice on building seed money, including strategies for dividing income among multiple bank accounts and making small-scale investments.

The second session, scheduled for November 4, will feature Park Jong-hoon, Director of the Knowledge Economy Research Institute, who will deliver a lecture titled "Understanding the Economy: The Key to Smarter Investing." He will explain major macroeconomic trends and discuss how investors can maintain a disciplined mindset amid market fluctuations.

The third session, scheduled for November 30, will feature Kim Dae-sik, a neuroscientist and professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Under the theme "Survival Strategies in the AGI Era!", he will examine the impact of the artificial intelligence revolution on employment opportunities for young people and present strategies for restructuring asset portfolios to meet the demands of a changing era.

In addition, Busan Metropolitan City plans to introduce its major youth support policies, including the "Three Growth Ladders for Busan Youth," before each lecture to raise awareness of the policies and help young people better understand the benefits available to them.

The program is open to all young people residing in Busan. Applications can be submitted on a first-come, first-served basis for each session through the official website, https://부산청년영리끌.kr. On-site registration will also be available on the day of each lecture if seats remain.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo stated, "Encouraged by the enthusiastic response from young people to the first-half lecture series, we have prepared the second-half program to provide practical support for financial independence amid rapidly changing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and economic conditions."

He added, "Busan Metropolitan City will provide strong and consistent support to help young people in Busan plan their futures wisely, navigate uncertainty, and establish stable lives in the city."
