Konkuk is a multidisciplinary university in Seoul, well-known to k-pop culture and K-dramas fans. It serves as a set for many TV shows, popular both in South Korea and beyond it. So, what can be better than visiting recognizable places and getting closer to favorite characters?

Even if modern Korean culture is not your thing, walk around the campus of Konkuk would easily immerse you in the picturesque landscapes and give a sense of calm like after a full trip to nature.

The educational institution was founded with private money in the middle of the last century as the school for future public figures and politicians. But soon it began to develop and quickly went beyond its original purposes. By the early 60s, the school grew into a university and received its current name.

Since the foundation of Konkuk, its educational philosophy has been based on the idea that agriculture is the backbone and engine of the economy. For this reason, the main campus has moved to an exciting place with a large lake and lush parks over time. This place aims to inspire students to work closely and productively with nature.

Due to a wise course and generous donations, Konkuk offers cutting-edge education and research programs in agriculture and science as well as excels in many other professional fields. It is regularly ranked among the top universities in the country and recently received the title of the fastest-growing university in the Republic of Korea.

While walking around the green campus, stop by the Konkuk Museum. It was founded in 1963 and, to this day, has managed to make an impressive collection of various historical exhibits, including one of the first printed books in the country. The museum is open to both students and travelers, and for the most curious, there are lectures and masterclasses on history and culture.
