Mr. Son has been constantly donating for KU since 2005 for various purposes such as funding the College of Political Science and Economics and alumni association. In appreciation of his generous contributions to the school, a scholarship donation ceremony was held at the President’s office on March 28.

KU President Kim Dong-One addressed the contribution expressing his gratitude for the love that Mr. Son has displayed for his alma mater over the course of nearly twenty years. President Kim then emphasized the timeliness of the donation stating that “the funds will be used to enhance KU’s infrastructure and to nurture its future leaders as the school is approaching its 120th anniversary.”
