Dunamu’s Digital Financial Education Initiative ‘UP Class Junior’ Gains Recognition Nationwide

Expanding Digital Financial Literacy Among South Korea’s Youth

Dunamu, the operator behind one of South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has shared noteworthy results from its digital financial education program, ‘UP Class Junior,’ for the first semester of 2025. Garnering exceptional feedback from schools and educators throughout the country, the initiative continues to elevate the standards of financial literacy education in South Korea.

Initially launched in 2022 under the name ‘Doniverse,’ the program was designed to strengthen digital financial literacy among youth while cultivating future contributors to the burgeoning digital economy. With its rebranding to ‘UP Class Junior,’ the program has broadened its mission beyond youth education to include tailored initiatives for young adults and seniors, aiming to build financial literacy across all age groups. This expansion reflects a commitment to empowering South Koreans with the necessary tools to navigate the increasingly digitalized financial landscape.

Since its inception, ‘UP Class Junior’ has reached a total of 135 schools, engaging 27,264 students in cumulative attendance through its curriculum. Originally piloted in Gyeonggi Province, the program expanded to Seoul and Incheon by 2023, then progressed to the Chungcheong and Sejong regions in 2024. Plans for 2025 include launching initiatives in Busan, solidifying its presence across the nation.

Educators Praise Innovative Curriculum and Resources

Feedback from educators has been overwhelmingly positive, with the program’s first-semester survey for 2025 reporting a 97% overall satisfaction rate. The survey highlights a 97% approval rating for teaching materials and a 93% rate for the curriculum design, illustrating consistent high marks in program execution. Educators have noted that integrating advanced technological concepts, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), into real-world financial discussions has significantly captured students’ interest and facilitated meaningful learning experiences.

One participating teacher shared, “When cutting-edge technologies are blended with subjects relevant to their everyday lives, students show genuine enthusiasm and an eagerness to engage."

This approach has proven effective, fostering excitement around financial education while introducing students to vital digital tools and concepts essential for navigating modern financial systems.

Dunamu’s Vision for Financial Education in the Digital Era

Dunamu CEO Oh Kyung-seok emphasized the growing importance of financial education in today’s digital age. “For a generation accustomed to smartphones and digital payments, financial education is no longer optional but an essential part of life,” noted Oh. He reiterated Dunamu’s commitment to equipping young learners with knowledge to responsibly manage finances while preparing them to become significant contributors to the future digital economy.

By grounding its youth-focused education initiatives in real-world applications and transformative technologies, Dunamu is fostering a generation of informed and digitally savvy individuals prepared to thrive in the fast-evolving financial environment. This forward-looking approach ensures that South Korea’s youth are equipped not only with theoretical knowledge but practical insights into the intricacies of digital assets, blockchain systems, and cutting-edge technologies.

Preparing Future Financial Leaders

Through programs like ‘UP Class Junior,’ Dunamu is carving a path for young Koreans to lead the world in digital financial innovation. By continuously refining its curriculum and expanding its reach, Dunamu is setting the benchmark for financial education in the digital era. The initiative’s unwavering focus on fostering responsible financial habits and advancing knowledge in areas like cryptocurrency, AI, and NFTs positions Dunamu as a key player in both education and the broader digital financial ecosystem.

As the program plans to expand its footprint to Busan in 2025, its influence is set to grow, empowering students nationwide to embrace the future of finance with confidence and competence.
