Webzen announced on the 25th that it has successfully concluded its social contribution programs for 2025, engaging a total of 4,494 youths. Throughout the year, the company focused on coding education and programs aimed at preventing excessive gaming, all conducted in partnership with local schools and children's welfare centers.

For years, Webzen has partnered with the Seongnam Youth and Youth Foundation to operate the 'Youth Coding Workshop with Webzen' and 'Game Over-immersion Prevention Programs.' These age-tailored curricula have consistently helped local youths sharpen their creative problem-solving skills, maintaining high satisfaction levels.

First, the company collaborated with 10 primary schools in Seongnam to provide coding education to 326 students. The curriculum utilized robots, AI, and 'hamster bots,' integrated directly with school subjects. Due to continuously increasing demand, these programs will be expanded in 2026.

Additionally, for high school students, Webzen provided coding education to clubs at 11 local schools and hosted the '4th Challenge Project' to showcase their learning. The winning team received professional patent attorney consultations and full financial support for their patent applications.

The company also conducted education for underprivileged youths to help bridge the educational gap. At the Pangyo Youth Center, they provided foundational coding and practical training, while the Yatap Youth Center offered free coding lessons in partnership with local children's centers.

Furthermore, Webzen has steadily expanded its game over-immersion prevention program. Aimed at improving self-regulation regarding gaming and media consumption, the initiative reached 2,710 students across 115 classes in 19 schools last year, and even introduced advanced programs for families to include parents.

Meanwhile, Webzen announced that it will continue to establish and operate various social contribution programs in 2026 to support the digital literacy of youths and the healthy use of games.
