Health Ministry Launches Video Contest on National Pension Confidence
The South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare has announced a nationwide video advertising contest, inviting citizens to share their perspectives and build confidence in the National Pension Service (NPS). Titled "2026 National Pension Public Video Advertising Festival – National Pension, Why I Am Confident!", the initiative aims to foster public engagement and dialogue about the country’s public pension system.
The contest seeks to create an opportunity for South Koreans to reflect on and express their reasons for trusting the National Pension system. For international readers, the National Pension Service functions as South Korea’s primary public social security system, providing financial support to citizens during retirement, disability, or for surviving family members.
All South Korean citizens are eligible to participate in the contest. Entrants can submit their videos individually or as part of a team, with a maximum of five members per team. The Ministry encourages creative and insightful submissions that capture personal moments or compelling arguments for the pension’s value.
The application period for the video contest runs from April 15, 2026, to May 8, 2026, at 5:00 PM Korea Standard Time (KST). Detailed instructions on how to apply, including video specifications and submission guidelines, are available in the official announcement’s attached files on the Ministry of Health and Welfare website.
