Kiwoom Securities CEO Joins Campaign Against Illegal Youth Gambling
Summary
Kiwoom Securities CEO Eom Joo-sung has joined a relay campaign initiated by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to raise awareness about the increasing issue of illegal cyber gambling targeting young people. The campaign aims to highlight the fraudulent nature of these online gambling schemes and encourages continued participation through nominations. CEO Eom was nominated by Toss Securities CEO Kim Gyu-bin and, in turn, nominated Eugene Investment & Securities CEO Ko Kyung-mo and KB Securities CEO Kang Jin-du. The concern stems from the growing accessibility of youth gambling through online and mobile platforms disguised as games, leading to addiction and financial harm. Kiwoom Securities actively promotes financial literacy among youth through educational programs like “Pengsoo, Let's Go to School” and “Kiwoom Dreamer,” and CEO Eom emphasized the need for societal attention to foster healthy financial habits in young people.
