History:

In May 1946, Konkuk University was set up as Chosun School of Politics (조선정치학관), a lesser school for future political pioneers, by Dr. Yoo Seok-chang. After thirteen years, the school turned into an "exhaustive college" and changed its name to Konkuk (建國), which signifies "establishing a country" in Hanja (Chinese characters). As solid adherents to the job of advanced education in keeping up Korea's power, the author and his supporters picked the name in the expectations that Konkuk graduates would fabricate and serve the country. Starting at 2016, Konkuk University has two grounds—the fundamental grounds in the core of Seoul and the Glocal grounds in Chungju—with around 29,000 understudies selected.

Prepared as a medicinal specialist during the Japanese occupation, Dr. Yoo at first had opened the People's Hospital in 1931 to give medicinal consideration to less lucky Koreans. After a short time, he directed his concentration toward youthful pioneers in provincial regions since farming was the fundamental mainstay of the economy. Dr. Yoo and his supporters, who might later move toward becoming promoters of Konkuk University, expected to open an advanced education organization for pioneers who might edify the provincial populace.
