Finance Expert John Lee to Headline Special Asset Management Lecture!

Yeongdeungpo-gu will host a special asset management lecture featuring finance expert John Lee at Yeongdeungpo Art Hall on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.

Interest in wealth-building has grown across society, with demand for financial education rising among all age groups — from young adults taking their first steps toward building assets to middle-aged and older residents preparing for retirement. In response, the district office organized the lecture to improve residents' financial literacy and share practical asset management know-how.

The speaker is John Lee, current head of John Lee's School of Wealth and former chief executive of Meritz Asset Management, a widely recognized figure in finance and economics. Lee has written a series of bestselling books — including "John Lee's Habits for Getting Rich," "John Lee's Escape from Financial Illiteracy," and "Mom, Please Buy Me Stocks" — and has long championed the importance of financial literacy and value investing.

At the Oct. 21 event, Lee will deliver a 90-minute lecture under the theme "Start Managing Your Assets Right Now," sharing realistic, easy-to-apply asset management solutions that residents can put into practice in their daily lives.

Registration is open to 500 Yeongdeungpo-gu residents on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Thursday at 9 a.m. Residents wishing to attend may submit an application by scanning the QR code posted in the event notice. Further details are available on the district office's website under the "Our District News" bulletin board.

Yeongdeungpo-gu District Mayor Jo Yu-jin said she hopes the event will be "a beneficial and helpful time for all residents — from young people building their first assets to middle-aged and older residents preparing for retirement." She added that the district will "continue to expand economic education befitting Yeongdeungpo's status as the Manhattan of South Korea."
