The Korea Financial Investment Association said its chairman, Hwang Seong-yeop (황성엽), joined a relay campaign hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to eradicate illegal gambling among teenagers. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the risks of illegal cyber gambling targeting youths in online and mobile environments and to heighten social vigilance. The association said cases are rising as gambling spreads among teens in game-like forms, leading to addiction and financial losses.

Toss Bank said on Wednesday it has joined a relay campaign to eradicate illegal gambling among teenagers. The campaign, led by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, is a broad social prevention effort built around a message warning that illegal cyber gambling targeting youths is a fraudulent crime that cannot be beaten. Participants take verification photos and nominate two others to join next.
