Scholarship donations continue to pour in to support the future talent of Pohang, Gyeongbuk Province.

According to the Pohang Scholarship Foundation, YUBI (CEO Chang-Wook Yoo) contributed 3 million KRW, alongside donations of 5 million KRW from Yuseong Geriatric Hospital (Chairperson Gui-Hwa Ji) and 500,000 KRW from Yeungnam University's Multicultural Education Research Institute (Director Yong-Kyo Jeong).

Since its establishment in 2015, Yuseong Geriatric Hospital has been a leader in elderly care in Pohang, conducting medical volunteer services in underserved areas, donating supplies to local children’s centers, and contributing to charitable causes. Chairperson Ji stated, “It is fulfilling to support local youth. Though it is a small contribution, I hope it helps students in challenging circumstances pursue their dreams.”

Founded in 2002, YUBI, a Korean photo kiosk manufacturer,, specializes in software, website development, and kiosk manufacturing. In 2021, the company launched Korea’s first fully unmanned photo studio, ‘MUSAN.’

By integrating Alipay and WeChat Pay systems into its photo kiosks, YUBI expanded into the Chinese market and continues to grow its global footprint. Executive Director Un-Young Jeong remarked, “I hope our scholarship contribution serves as a stepping stone for nurturing regional talent.”

The Yeungnam University Multicultural Education Research Institute also donated proceeds from their ‘Global Store’ at the 2nd Pohang Farmers’ Solidarity Festival. This program supports foreign students’ integration into Korea and contributes to revitalizing local communities and stabilizing multicultural families.

Director Jeong noted, “It is meaningful that foreign students were able to give back to the community through their efforts. The funds hold great value because they represent the students’ direct contributions.”

YUBI, a Korean photo kiosk manufacturer, has also caught the attention of international buyers, who recognize the potential in Korea’s growing self-photo studio market. Collaborations with global partners have already begun, accelerating the company’s export initiatives.

Building on its successful entry into Taiwan, YUBI is actively engaging in discussions with countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Canada, and Australia. The company is developing customized software and hardware solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of each market, ensuring its continued expansion into the global stage
