The "2023 Casebook of KSI Learners," the first casebook covering stories of KSI learners active in various fields, contains stories of 46 learners of 42 KSIs in 35 countries in the world. Part 1 introduces cases of 14 learners who are demonstrating their competence as professionals to the fullest by making steady and persistent effort to achieve their dreams after studying Korean and Korean language at KSIs. Part 2 contains cases of KSI learners who are active in five fields: ▲ Korean language specialized fields, ▲ culture/arts, ▲ Korean companies, ▲ government/public bodies, and ▲ media).

“This casebook, which is officially published by KSIF for the first time since KSIF began in 2012, contains stories of Korean language learners around the world who became professionals and talented global citizens in various fields as they realized their dreams through Korean language and Korean culture. It is expected that the paths they have been walking on could create new paths for someone else. KSIF will continue to discover stories of growing through KSIs and introduce those stories to people around the world as well as Koreans,” said President Lee Hai-young of KSIF.
