President Kim Chang-in (81) who is a Korean-Japanese from Jeju, donated 10 billion won as a development fund to JNU on September 13.
 President Kim Chang-in presented the donation to the JNU President Huh Hyang-jin who visited his office in Osaka, Japan. The money will be used to operate 'The Center for the Korean-Japanese from Jeju' as well as to study Korean-Japanese from Jeju's Life and their spirit.
 In 2008, President Kim donated 3.5 billion won as a construction fund of the Center for the Korean-Japanese from Jeju. He showed again his deep love or JNU and its students through the donation of 10billion won. Also he subscribed 650 million won for the construction of the 'JNU Culture Exchange Hall', reaching the total amount of 14.15 billion won.
 "Money should be used for right, clean and beautiful purposes, at the right time. I decided to donate that money because the purpose for constructing this center appealed to me," Kim said.
"I hope that many students can share my life philosophy, 'What is the correct life, and how do I have to live it?'" added Kim.
 Also he expressed the hope that JNU would use the money for the continuous operation of the center.
 JNU President Huh Hyang-jin promised to develop programs for education revolving around Kim's life philosophy and to spread it through 'The Center for the Korean-Japanese from Jeju'. Also, he said that he would try to make it a place where 3rd and 4th generation Korean-Japanese from Jeju could learn Korean culture and language.
 President Kim Chang-in was born in Gwideok-ri, Jeju in 1929 and graduated from Hallim Elementary School. When he was 16 years old, he moved to Japan where he worked for a company run by one of his relatives.
 However, he finally established his own view of life and management by continuously reading books. And now, he runs the 'Nam-hae Center' in Osaka as well as other companies in Japan.
 On June 15th, JNU held the ground-breaking ceremony of the 'JNU Culture Exchange Center' which will be both 'JNU Museum' and 'The Center for Korean-Japanese from Jeju'. This is a building with three stories above ground and one underground level on a site of 4,803(1,453 pyeong). Materials relating to the history of emigration and settlement will be housed and displayed here. Also the 3rd and 4th generation Korean-Japanese from Jeju are expected to learn Hangeul, Korean Language and traditional culture of Korea.
 At the Kim Chang-in Hall, still to be constructed, education programs to teach Kim's life philosophy will be developed and taught to Jeju students as well as the 3rd and 4th generations of the Korean-Japanese from Jeju.
