In 1949 the names were changed to Political Science Foundation and Political Science College. At that time both were also "authorized as a formal higher education institution". After a 1955 move to [[Jangan-dong]], Seoul the names were again changed to Konkuk University Foundation and Konkuk University.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/eng/info/info02.php|title=Introduction-History|accessdate=4 August 2009|publisher=Konkuk.ac.kr}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> == Organization == Konkuk University is an endowed educational institution and governed by the president and the board of Konkuk University foundation.

The main axes of the university are lined, on each side, by these stones, each of which features an inscription—often a motto, poem or quotation from a major literary work—which illustrates something important about the donating country. On the back, there is a translation into Korean, and also into English for non-English language inscriptions. To date, there are nearly 200 of these stones at Konkuk. ==Notable alumni== *[[Subin (singer)|Cho Su-Bin]], member of K-pop group [[Dal Shabet]] *[[Choi Minho (singer)|Choi Minho]], member of K-pop group [[SHINee]] *[[Chris Nam]] (1982), president of the Federation of Korean Associations, USA<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/society/society_general/372895.html|title=미주총련 남문기 회장 건국대서 명예박사|periodical=[[The Hankyoreh]]|date=2009-08-24|accessdate=2012-07-27}}</ref> *[[Dong Woon]], member of K-pop group [[B2ST]] *[[Hong Seong-Yo]] *[[Hong Jong-hyun]] actor, model and MC *[[Hwang Sun-Hong]] *[[Hyun Young-Min]] *[[JB (South Korean musician)|Im Jae Bum]], member of K-pop group [[GOT7]] *[[Jeon Min-Hee]] *[[Joo Hyun]] *[[Joo Won]] *[[Kim Hyesoon]] *[[Kim Hyun-a]], member of K-pop group [[4Minute]] *[[Kim Jung-eun]] *[[Kim Seok Jin|Kim Seok-Jin]], member of K-pop group [[Bangtan Boys]] *[[Kim Tae-Young (footballer born 1982)|Kim Tae-Young]], footballer *[[Kim Yu-mi (Miss Korea)|Kim Yu-mi]], Miss Korea 2012 *[[Kim Young-Chul]] *[[Ko Jeong-Woon]] *[[Lee Hyung-taik]] *[[Lee Jong-Beom]] *[[Lee Jong-suk|Lee Jongsuk]], actor, model and MC *[[Lee Hyeri]], member of K-pop group [[Girl's Day]] *[[Lee Min-ho (actor born 1987)|Lee Min-ho]], actor *[[Lee Min-ki]] *[[Lee Sang-Yoon (footballer)|Lee Sang-Yoon]] *[[Lee Young-Pyo]] *[[Lee Won-Keun]] *[[Na Yeon Choi]], golfer *[[Oh Chang-Sik]] * Park Eun Ji, former member of K-pop group [[Nine Muses (band)|Nine Muses]] *[[Park Han-byul]] *[[Seo Woo]] *[[Shin-ik Hahm]] *[[Shin Seong-il]] *[[Shim Changmin]], member of K-pop group [[TVXQ]] *[[Sim Woo-Yeon]] *[[Uhm Tae-woong]] *[[Yoo Ah-in]], actor *[[Yoo Sang-Chul]] *[[Yoon Sang-Chul]] *[[Yoon Seok-ho]] ==Transportation== {{rint|seoul|2}} [[Konkuk University Station]] {{rint|seoul|7}}[[Konkuk University Station]] == See also == [[List of universities in Seoul]] == References == {{Reflist|30em}} == External links == * [http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/eng Konkuk University - Official website] * [http://www.konkuk.ac.kr Konkuk University - Official website] {{ko icon}} ** [http://eng.kku.ac.kr Konkuk University - Chungju Campus] ** [http://www.kku.ac.kr Konkuk University - Chungju Campus] {{ko icon}} * Konkuk University Medical Center ** [http://medicine.kku.ac.kr/eng Konkuk University School of Medicine] ** [http://www.kuh.ac.kr/eng Konkuk University Seoul Hospital] ** [http://www.kuh.co.kr Konkuk University Chungju Hospital] {{ko icon}} * [http://www.konkuk.ac.kr Konkuk University - Alumni Association] {{ko icon}} {{Konkuk University}} {{Colleges and universities in Seoul}} {{Seoul American Football Association}} ** [http://www.openlibdir.com/library/konkuk-university-library-iid17364.html Konkuk University Library on OpenLibDir] [[Category:Konkuk University| ]] [[Category:Universities and colleges in North Chungcheong Province]]'
