Eligible applicants are actual residents of Jeju aged 18 or older but under 40 as of 2025, who have less than three years of fishery management experience and have either completed or been exempted from military service.

If selected, first-year young fishery entrepreneurs will receive 1.1 million KRW per month, second-year entrepreneurs 1 million KRW per month, and third-year entrepreneurs 900,000 KRW per month.

Selection will be based on a two-step process: applicants scoring 60 points or more in the document review will be shortlisted for interviews, and those who score an average of 60 points or more in the interview will be ranked from 1st to 6th for final selection. If there are ties, those with higher scores will be given priority.
