Before her time at Harris, Yeong worked at the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network Youth Initiative for two years, pursuing social action to support the Sustainable Development Goals in South Korea. She served as a team leader for the Research team within the Academics department. She proposed policies related to Sustainable Development Goals to South Korea's government. She wrote several resolutions to deliver domestic young people's voices on behalf of the youth committee representing more than 170 organizations.
