President Moon “Straightly expand the target of support”
On/off registration possible until the 4th of the new month
For the ‘Youth Hope Savings Savings’, which even criticized as ‘Hope Advisor’ due to concerns regarding the early deadline, the government received applications by the 4th of next month and revised the plan so that all young people who meet the requirements can join. Initially, with a budget of 45.6 billion won, it was possible to support up to 380,000 people, but as the number of applicants surged to such an extent that the bank’s mobile banking application (app) was paralyzed, the target of support was expanded.
The government announced on the 22nd that it had deliberated and decided on the operation plan for the Youth Hope Savings Fund at a cabinet meeting. President Moon Jae-in at the cabinet meeting on the same day said, “It was originally planned to support 380,000 young people, but as the number of applications is expected to increase sharply than expected, we will decide on a plan to operate the Youth Hope Savings Savings Project by greatly expanding the plan.” “Anyone who has the necessary skills can benefit from it,” he said.
