The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's Korean Agency for Technology and Standards said Thursday that its seventh group of Product Safety Creators has officially launched.
The agency held a kickoff ceremony for the 2026 Product Safety Creators at the ENA Suite Hotel in Seoul's Jung District.
The participatory program, made up of high school and university students, is designed to deliver product safety information in an easy, approachable way. Participants plan and produce content and spread it through social media and other channels.
The seventh cohort includes 30 students selected nationwide. They will produce promotional content on product safety, share information on hazardous products and take part in efforts to expand a safety culture in daily life.
The agency said it expects the creators to help raise awareness and encourage safer consumer practices by using digital formats such as videos, card news and short-form content.
The group will be active for about seven months. The government plans to honor top participants at a Product Safety Day ceremony, awarding a total of 16 prizes, including two Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy awards and four awards from the head of the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards.
KATS Administrator Kim Dae-ja said he hopes trust built through the creators' content will lead to safer choices and action, adding that the agency will continue to strengthen public outreach on product safety policies.
