This year marks the 120th anniversary of our university. One of the ways to celebrate it was making an International Professor and Students Semester called ‘InProfSS’ and leading KMU’s internationalization. The foundation of Keimyung University was established by a few foreigners on an American Presbyterian mission. Now, Keimyung University has 144 foreign professors, 11 percent of its 1,294 professors. The nationalities of the international professors are various, coming from 30 countries around the world. Every major has more than one foreigner professor. There are also 2,133 foreign student

Since last July, you may have frequently seen #BOYCOTTJAPAN and #NOJAPAN on Korean social networks. The relationship between Korea and Japan has always been precarious because of their history. Koreans’ #BOYCOTTJAPAN started for almost the same reason, history.

Reducing waste is important, but eco-friendly consumption is a fundamental way to improve the environment. Every year the world produce
If foreigners ask Korean people what the saddest moment in Korean history is, they will all say the Japanese colonial era. Koreans were shorn of their freedom by Japan in 1910 and held hostage until 1945. Japan brutally ruled Korea during this period, and Korean people repeatedly tried to reclaim their nation. There were many attempts to overthrow the Japanese occupiers, but the most popular one was the ‘March 1 Movement’ which started March 1, 1919.
