Creativity, innovation, convergence, possibility…

 “These all sound great but doesn’t it feel like something is missing? Every university describes itself with the same words.”

 

It seems like… copy and paste, right?

 

If a university is unique, shouldn’t it have something different to show?

 

For example, like here at Kookmin University!

 

While others wrap themselves in vague words, we define ourselves with a single, powerful term.

That word is [Entrepreneurship], which only Kookmin has.

We define [Entrepreneurship] like this

 

It’s the dividing line between rule makers, who create the rules of the world, the rule takers, who follow them.

 

It’s also the birth of a new rule of Kookmin which will be essential when it comes to the future of universities.

 

Here, we don't fear failure.

It’s an experience, not an outcome. That’s the “Rule” at Kookmin University and the essence of entrepreneurship.

 

Of course, a good reputation is important

 

But we focus more on setting the standards for that reputation.

That’s what being a rule maker is all about!

 

We believe that when you do what you love, you eventually become good at it,

and the best solutions are found within sound ecosystems.

 

Our beliefs gain momentum when we break free from yesterday’s frame.

 

And that is the moment when our real challenge begins.

 

From rule makers to rule breakers

 

We constantly challenge ourselves, even breaking the frameworks we’ve created to achieve innovative results.

 

We never rest on our laurels.

The bolder the challenge, the brighter it shines.

 

Breaking the boundaries between disciplines such as humanities, arts, and engineering,

believing that the wrong answer is the quickest path to the right one, and proving that today's limits are merely tomorrow’s possibilities — that’s the journey of challenge and innovation we are on.

 

Along that journey, we build wisdom not through search engines, but through contemplation,

sharing each other’s inspirations and experiencing the magic of a campus that infinitely expands.

 

In that way, we grow together.

 

At Kookmin, we seek out challenges and find fulfillment in overcoming them.

We discover our potential through these challenges and achieve outcomes by growing beyond our limitations.

 

We are the starting point of a new rule of Kookmin that will change the world.

Make the Rule. Break the Rule. Kookmin University.
