Establishment of IDAC Youth Committee and Award Ceremony: Youth Leading Digital and Integrity Keywords!

On March 29th, the "Promotion of Integrity Values Seminar: Youth Integrity Unveiled Digitally," co-hosted by the International Digital Asset Committee (IDAC), the Anti-Corruption Citizens Movement Federation, and Representative An Ho-young's office, took place in the 2nd Committee Room of the National Assembly Member's Office Building.

This event aimed to declare that youth are the primary agents who should actively utilize the keywords 'digital' and 'integrity,' connecting them through concrete actions. The event included the inauguration of the IDAC Youth Committee and the Anti-Corruption Youth Federation, a lecture titled "Youth Integrity Unveiled Digitally," and an award ceremony honoring integrity figures and digital asset contributors. Representatives from various domestic and international social organizations, government agencies, businesses, academia, and the arts and culture sectors attended, including from China, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and Uzbekistan.

Jo Hyeon-jae, Director of the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, delivered a congratulatory speech emphasizing, "When digital meets integrity, significant synergies can occur. If youth harness this influence, they can expect positive outcomes in their current activities and contribute positively to our society. The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation will actively collaborate to enable youth to perform integrity activities effectively in the digital age."

Kim Hoi-geun, Chairman of both the IDAC Youth Committee and the Anti-Corruption Youth Federation, pledged through a declaration of activities to:

▲Lead the spread of integrity culture and combat corruption activities driven by youth.

▲Promote the social spread of digital assets through digital-based integrity encouragement activities.

▲Emphasize transparency and trust in providing and utilizing digital services.

▲Proactively address regulatory gaps and prevent harm in the digital asset sector.

In his keynote speech, IDAC Chairman Won Eun-seok highlighted, "Integrity may seem a distant and challenging concept, but when youth actively pursue integrity, they gain social influence and sustain their activities. Digital represents keywords for both present and future, embodying uncertainty and change as basic attributes. As youth secure influence and sustainability through integrity, they will find more opportunities and possibilities in navigating the digital age."

During the event, Jo Hyeon-jae presented the "Integrity Leaders of the Era Award," while An Jin-ho from the Summit Forum and eight others received the "Anti-Corruption Integrity Award." The "Digital Asset Award" went to World Vision, Lee Su-jeong (CEO of the Cherry donation platform), and Lee Ji-eun (Lawyer at Liberty Law Firm). Additionally, Park Jong-cheol (Lawyer at Seoul Robotics) and 13 others were honored with the "Digital Asset Leader Award." Seven services and companies, including UZNEX (Uzbekistan's national virtual asset exchange), received the "Excellent Digital Asset Certification."

This event marked a significant step towards empowering youth to spearhead integrity and anti-corruption efforts in the digital era, promising positive impacts across various sectors globally.
