Life Summary

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.

He is focusing his efforts on expanding the business in the global market, particularly in the Asian region.
