Keimyung University (KMU, 계명대학교) is a premier private comprehensive research university located in Daegu Metropolitan City, South Korea. Tracing its historical roots to the establishment of Jejungwon (Dongsan Medical Center) in 1899 by American Presbyterian medical missionary Dr. Woodbridge O. Johnson, the academic institution was formally founded in 1954 as Keimyung Christian College by Rev. Edward Adams and Dr. Choi Chi-hoon. Over seven decades, Keimyung has evolved into one of South Korea's most distinguished centers for higher learning, renowned for its breathtaking red-brick Georgian Western collegiate architecture, high-caliber international programs such as Keimyung Adams College (KAC), elite performing arts via the Keimyung-Chopin Academy of Music, advanced engineering, and the 1,041-bed Dongsan Medical Center hospital complex. Operating across the vast 165-hectare Seongseo Flagship Campus, the historic arts-centric Daemyeong Campus, and the clinical Dongsan Campus, KMU educates over 24,000 students from more than 60 nations under its Christian humanist motto of Truth, Justice, and Love.
