Korea Exchange (KRX) said on the 15th that Chair Jeong Eun-bo joined a relay campaign to eradicate illegal online gambling among teenagers.
The relay challenge to eradicate teenage gambling is a campaign launched by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Mar. 2024 to raise awareness of the risks of illegal online gambling targeting teenagers and to stop its spread.
Participants take a certification photo with the phrase "Illegal online gambling targeting teenagers is an unwinnable scam crime," promote it online, and designate the next participant. Earlier, Chair Jeong was designated by Chair Kang Young-gu of the Korea Fire Insurance Association.
Jeong said, "Because illegal online gambling is an addictive crime that is hard to quit once someone falls into it, through this campaign we will raise awareness about teenagers' access to online gambling and Korea Exchange (KRX) will join in creating a healthy environment so teenagers can grow up well."
Jeong designated Kim Seong-hwan, president of Korea Investment & Securities Co., and Lee Seok-gi, president of Kyobo Securities, as the next participants in the relay campaign.
