Kive Project Story

What Is Kive Project?

Kive Project is an independent, student-led initiative that seeks not only to make Korean Studies and culture more accessible but also to advance it and global reach.

Background

Founded and managed by a graduate of Library, Archive, and Information Science at Pusan National University, the project was born out of an awareness of the difficulties faced by Korean Studies learners abroad — including scattered and hard-to-navigate databases, limited access to academic materials, and language barriers that make research even more difficult. To this end, it was created to bridge this gap by offering organized and user-friendly information services that make Korean resources more accessible to the world.
