K-AMPUS - All About Kyung-Hee University in Korea


Hello, We are Seoulmate 🥰

Today, We'll be uploading our second part of fresh content, 'K-AMPUS' !! 😁

As you guys already know, This content is about universities in Seoul City and some stories about school 🏫🎒

You know what? In fall like nowadays, many couples enjoy campus dates. We hope you can also enjoy campus dates while you are in Korea👫🏻👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻.

Without further ado, Let's begin💪🏻💪🏻

Our second school is Kyung-Hee University!! 🦁

This school is located in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, in which many schools are gathered 🏛



It's adress is '26, Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 02447, South Korea' 😁


 

Kyung Hee University is a private university that opened on May 12, 1949, in South Korea, and has its roots in Shinheung Military Academy, which opened in 1911. 🇰🇷🪖

Shinheung Military Academy can be seen as a military academy aimed at fostering armed independence forces during Japanese colonial era.🏁

Kyung Hee University is now said to be one of the prestigious universities in Korea, inheriting their history, legitimacy, and spirit. 💪🏻👍🏻


 

Kyung Hee University has 86 departments in 23 colleges and 6 faculties.📖 Among them, I would like to introduce some representative departments.😁

1. Department of Taekwondo 🥋

 As most of you guys already know, Taekwondo is a traditional martial art that was formed and developed in Korea.🇰🇷

Kyung Hee University is a leading school in Taekwondo, and it is no exaggeration to say that most taekwondo academies' coaches in Korea are from Kyung Hee University.

Recently, Park Tae-joon,a student at Kyunghee university won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics.🥇🎉

2. Department of Korean Medicine💊

 

Korean Medicine is a traditional medicine in Korea that has been studied and handed down while interacting with traditional medicine enjoyed in East Asia🌏

Since Department of Korean Medicine's opening, it has continued to play the role of Kyung Hee University's leading department and the oldest oriental medicine university in Korea.

It is taking the forerunner of Oriental Medical University, the first oriental medicine education institution since liberation.

As you can see, Kyung Hee University is a leader in the traditional field in Korea.☝🏻

In addition, it is cultivating talented people in many fields by having various departments such as department of hospitality management, post modern music, and Sports medicine 😊


 

As we explained earlier, Kyung Hee University has many departments.📚📔📕

So, the campus is divided into two, the Seoul campus and the international campus in Yong-In. ✌🏻

First of all, I would like to explain about the Seoul campus first. Seoul campus mainly houses humanities departments, and it is famous for being very spacious and beautiful. 🌃⭐

When cherry blossoms bloom in spring, it is famous for being a place for local residents to go out and date.🌸 The road from the main gate to the main building is the cherry blossom road, and there is a fountain lawn in front of the main building. ⛲🍀

However, be careful if you see a lion statue. 🦁 If you climb to the lion statue, you will not be able to make a lover for three years.😱😱



 

Another campus, the International Campus, is located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do (26, Kyungheedae-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, 17104, South Korea) , where science and engineering departments / arts and sports departments gather.🔭🧑🏻‍🎤🏋🏻

Although the scenery of Seoul Campus is so famous that it is buried, the International Campus is also famous for its beautiful campus across the country.💥💫

In particular, the main gate, which is the largest in Korea, the central library that boasts an overwhelming force, the building of the College of Arts and Design, and the open-air theater, which became famous for appearing as a Greek temple in BLACKPINK's "As If It's Your Last" MV, are representative landscapes of the international campus.😯😲😎

Especially, like the Seoul Campus, in spring, green grass is laid on the grand playground and cherry blossoms are in full bloom along the campus road, attracting many residents.🌸🤩



 

Seoul Campus is located in front of Hoegi Station.🚉

Near Hoegi Station, there are not only Kyung Hee University, but also various schools such as Hanguk Universities of Foreign Studies and University of Seoul.🏫🏢

So there are many developed commercial districts and many especially famous bars. 😋🍶🍾

Among them, we recommend you to go to the 'Hoegi Pajeon Alley'.

You are able to enjoy the night of Kyung-Hee people while eating various jeon 🥞 and makgeolli. 🍶🍶

And the international campus is located in front of Yeongtong Station.🚇🚇

Although the commercial district is not as developed as Seoul, there are enough things to enjoy because there are many office workers near Yeongtong Station.🧑🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼

 Unlike Seoul Campus, there are various things such as karaoke and bowling alley as well as bars.🎤🎳🍷

 If you want to enjoy many things as well as drinking with Kyung-Hee people, We highly recommend you to go!! ⛹🏻‍♂️


 

Kyung Hee University produces many people in various fields. 👨‍👦👨‍👦‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👧

The most famous of them is Moon Jae In, who was the 19th president of the Republic of Korea. 🇰🇷🇰🇷

Moon Jae In graduated from Kyung Hee University with a law degree and was a lawyer before rising to the presidency. 👨🏻‍⚖️

In addition, there is a famous actor, Gong Yoo. Gong Yoo, a graduate of Kyung Hee University's Department of Theater and Film, won many female hearts by taking the lead in the famous drama Goblin.🎥🎞🧟😍



 

This is the end of the K-AMPUS with the second university Kyung-Hee !!

K-AMPUS will be back with new university and fun stories about it 😎😎
