A communication space for young people and adolescents in Busan contemplating their dreams will be established.
The '2025 mentoring group: Busan edition' will be held on June 1 at Dongseong Church (lead pastor Park Jun-young) in Busanjin-gu. The 'mentoring group' is organized by the nonprofit organization 'Saving Lives Reporting Group' to present dreams and visions to young people who are deeply troubled by their career paths between an unyielding reality and a daunting future.
In this Busan edition event, actor Lee Tae-young, who is currently appearing in the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'For Eagle Brothers,' along with Kim Seo-jung, CEO of the fashion brand 'RoyRoySeoul,' Choi Yong-soo, CEO of Wickerslove, and Ha Tae-sun, CEO of Tove will participate as mentors.
Lee Tae-young, who graduated from Chung-Ang University with a degree in theater and film and has appeared in films such as 'Dancing Queen,' 'Stone,' and dramas like 'Good Doctor' and 'High School King,' will share insights including his admission know-how from being the bottom of his class to entering a prestigious university, behind-the-scenes stories of filming projects, experiences in web dramas and independent films, and the touching moments from working as a casting director. He will also introduce the process of opening an acting academy to help the Albanian children he met during volunteer work in Tanzania and provide specific directions for adolescents who dream of becoming actors.
CEO Kim Seo-jung studied organ and piano in college but shares her experiences of starting a women's clothing business through a blog after graduation. She tells the journey of launching a brand called 'RoyRoySeoul' and continuing her fashion business. As a planner for a project that creates apparel in collaboration with NGOs and donates the profits to those in need, she also shares her positive efforts. Recently, requests for branding planning have been coming in from various corporations, so she shares her vision as a brand planner and Christian fashion designer.

He discusses his experiences teaching children at a beverage vocational school for dropouts in Myanmar, operating a food business and café upon returning home, and projects he is currently running after moving to rural Yeongju.
Ha Tae-sun, CEO of the entertainment planning and promotion company 'Tove,' reflects on his past experiences and shares his vision. He has built a diverse experience starting from the well-established entertainment company SidusHQ to large agencies like KeyEast as well as smaller management firms.
