I have taught Korean language classes from beginner to advanced levels, as well as classes and seminars on modern Korean history at universities in the Kanto region. Let's learn about the Korean Peninsula, the closest foreign country to Japan and a country with deep ties to the Kinki region, from various angles, including language, history, and culture. You may see a different side of the Korean Peninsula from K-POP and dramas.

This is my first time living in Osaka, so I am very much looking forward to what the future holds.

Faculty of International Studies is more and more lively with the arrival of two new teachers and new students! Starting in the new academic year, there will be a significant increase in face-to-face classes. Although the current difficult situation continues, let's work together to make student life even more fulfilling!
