About Kangnam University

Kangnam University, a private institution in Yongin, South Korea, was founded on July 1, 1946, by Reverend Yi Ho-bin as the Choong-ang Theology Institute. The university's enduring spirit is 'Gyeongcheonanein,' meaning 'to worship the heavens and cherish humankind.' It began as a seminary and evolved into Kangnam Social Welfare School in 1976, then Kangnam College in 1989, and finally attained university accreditation in 1992. Throughout its history, Kangnam University has focused on nurturing talented individuals who contribute to Korean society through sharing, coexistence, and service. It has also emphasized globalization, signing exchange agreements with numerous international institutions. The university aims to be a 'small but strong university' in the international community, driven by advanced education, innovative management, and a commitment to its founding Christian principles.
