Metaverse KSI operated by KSIF is a real-time Korean language learning platform where learners from around the world can study Korean language and culture regardless of time and location. Currently, a Korean conversation course for intermediate to advanced learners is being offered, and various programs are planned to further expand real-time education in the future.

Meanwhile, KSIF recruited Korean language teachers to lead the Metaverse KSI’s conversation courses throughout 2025 until March 23. Applicants were required to hold a Korean language teaching certificate (Level 1 to 3), and 25 final candidates will be selected through a document screening and interview process.
