Since 2016, the Incorporated Association Youth and Future has held an annual Youth Day commemorative event every September to build social consensus for designating Youth Day as a statutory commemorative day and to raise public interest in promoting the rights and interests of young people, and since 2017 it has used the official name 'Republic of Korea Youth Day Festival', developing it into a youth festival representing the Republic of Korea. Later, on 1/9/2020, the National Assembly plenary session passed the Youth Basic Act, which included the designation of Youth Day as a statutory commemorative day, and Youth Day was designated as a statutory commemorative day on the third Saturday of every September. The Republic of Korea Youth Day Festival is held to widely promote the meaning of Youth Day as a statutory commemorative day and to expand youth social participation, promote rights and interests, and revitalize youth culture. This year, marking the 10th anniversary of Youth Day, the 10th Republic of Korea Youth Day Festival will be held in the Gwanganri area of Busan, a representative tourist destination of the Republic of Korea.
