Gyu-hak Moon, ’83, Chief Executive Officer and President of SoftBank Ventures Korea Inc. |
“Venture capitalists should be able to read people’s minds and guess what sort of philosophy and vision they have. I got the foundation for such abilities when I was studying in the Department of Spanish Language and Literature at Korea University.” |

Young-jun Cho, ’88, Director of Central America and Caribbean Division, MOFA |
“My days spent in the Department of Spanish Language and Literature were the foundation for the 18 years I worked as a diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had to deal with various issues not only in Latin America but across the world. I hope new students learn how to view the world more broadly and deeply so that they can someday contribute to our country and society.” |

Mina Sohn, ’92, Author and former announcer |
“Upon entering the Department of Spanish Language and Literature, a whole new universe opened up to me, one which has allowed my life to flourish. It is a blessing to enter the world of literature written in such a beautiful language. The best weapon that you can have in the war called life is the ability to freely communicate in such a useful language.” |

Seung-hee Seo, ’00, Interpreter in the South America Division, MOFA |
(In charge of interpreting for Latin America summit meetings) “My four years in the Department of Spanish Language and Literature were a turning point in my life. I was fascinated by Latin America – a land of opportunity with a population of 600 million. I also learned how to candidly communicate with others – one of the virtues that an interpreter should have.” |
