Jaemin Kim, the founding president of the NTU Korean Alumni Association, actively helped Korean students adapt to campus life while also launching entrepreneurial ventures during his studies.
Marking a milestone in National Taiwan University (NTU)’s global outreach efforts, the NTU Korean Alumni Association was officially inaugurated in November 2025. For years, Korean students have stood among NTU’s top ten international student groups and contributed significantly to the intellectual and cultural life of the campus. The formation of this association opens a new chapter in nurturing lifelong connections, mutual support, and professional collaboration among Korean alumni in Taiwan.
The association is led by its inaugural president, Jaemin Kim, an entrepreneur with a remarkable record of leadership who previously served as president of the NTU Korean Student Association. Affirming that the association’s vision goes beyond the usual alumni networking, Kim elaborated, “Our mission is to support Korean alumni as they build their careers in Taiwan’s distinctive economic environment, while also giving back to the society that shaped our academic paths.” He was joined at the inauguration by Vice President Jennifer Huang, a long-standing advocate for international student engagement and cross-cultural exchange.
The inauguration ceremony drew distinguished guests from industry as well as academia, including NTU Associate Vice President for International Affairs Jiun-Haw Lee, and representatives from the Korean Mission in Taipei and KOTRA. A highlight of the event was the notable intergenerational exchanges it fostered: alumni currently working at such top tier global technology leaders as NVIDIA and Micron attended the event to share their professional experiences, mentor students, and discuss career paths—particularly within Taiwan’s strategically important semiconductor sector.
As the NTU Korean Alumni Association embarks on its journey, it already stands as a testament to the importance of global education and the shared values of the NTU community. By offering a platform for collaboration, mentorship, and innovation, the association nurture the ties between Korea and Taiwan, ensuring they will ever grow stronger—driven by shared success and a commitment to the future.
Launched in November 2025, the NTU Korean Alumni Association opens a vital new chapter for the Korean alumni community and its growing role within NTU’s global network.
