Kim Young-hwa is the Chairman of Creverse.
He is the founder of Creverse, which began as a language academy business with institutions such as Cheongdam Language Institute and April Language Institute, and now operates educational services both domestically and internationally.
He was born on April 5, 1952.
He graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Seoul National University and earned a master’s degree in philosophy from the graduate school of the same university.
After working as an English exam preparation instructor, he felt a lingering attachment to academics and went to Germany to study philosophy at the Free University of Berlin. Realizing that academia was not his calling, he returned to Korea and founded Cheongdam Language Institute (now Creverse) in 1998.
In 2022, he merged with CMS Edu, a company specializing in math and integrated education, and launched Creverse.
He is focusing his efforts on expanding the business in the global market, particularly in the Asian region.
