Youth Culture and Arts Pass Holders Must Use Benefits by End of July to Avoid Forfeiture

Individuals who have been issued a Youth Culture and Arts Pass, which provides up to 200,000 won this year, must use the benefit at least once by the end of this month, or the entire subsidy will be revoked.

The Youth Culture and Arts Pass is a government-funded program designed to help 19 and 20-year-olds, born in 2006 and 2007, enjoy more performances, exhibitions, and films by subsidizing ticket costs.

While the subsidy can be used for events taking place until December 31 of this year, those who do not make a reservation and use the pass at least once by July 31 will have their full subsidy withdrawn as of 12:00 a.m. on August 1.

Users whose subsidies are revoked will be ineligible to reapply during the additional issuance period, which begins on August 10.

Starting August 10, the remaining subsidy can also be used to purchase books; however, those who have no usage history by the end of this month will be unable to purchase books as well.

The Arts Council Korea is holding an event for non-users who spend at least 50,000 won of their subsidy for the first time by the end of this month, offering a chance to win movie tickets worth 30,000 won through a raffle for 60 winners.
