KSI Moscow I has been in operation for some 13 years since its opening in November 2008 in connection with the Wonkwang Education Center in Moscow and Wonkwang Digital University in Korea.

As one of the biggest KSI locations in the world, KSI Moscow I has taught more than 30,000 learners to date. It also co-hosts annual Korean cultural events with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Russia, thereby promoting KSI in the process. As such, it has established itself as one of major institutions promoting Korean language and culture in Moscow.

Kang Hyounhwa, the President of KSIF, presented the commendation certificate to KSI Moscow I and expressed gratitude toward the two operating agencies for their dedication and hard work.

We all look forward to the future achievements of KSI Moscow I!
