Class President: Chris Chulho Park

Affiliation: Korea Tourism Organization

Having worked at the Korea Tourism Organization for 12 years, I have been exposed to a multicultural environment. I have been thinking hard about the role of the student council and how to achieve the goal of the KDI School– EEE campaign (Electronic, English, Ethical). As we all share our goal together and voluntarily participate in shaping a better community, the KDI School will have a brighter future.

MFDI: Sung Young Kim 

Affiliation: Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Company

My motto is to enjoy life with joy and always challenge myself. Since most of our classmates are working and studying at the same time, they do not have energy to explore the world as much as they would like. As a student representative, I would like my classmates to feel the pleasure of being a student by encouraging and inspiring them with my passion.
