Chairman's Greetings
“Creative vision and
The courage to pursue dreams of a bright future”
Our Foundation is dedicated to a vision for the next generation of individuals of Korean descent globally. We strive to foster their leadership for a brighter society and support them in carrying forward their dreams for the future.
Currently, we are promoting the "Youth Dream Presentation Festival" worldwide to unearth the precious dreams of our youth. We identify next-generation individuals with potential and support their aspirations for the future through our Global Scholarship Program and the MYNK-Next-generation Network.
Furthermore, by expanding our Hangeul promotion and social initiatives, our Foundation's family, the MDIFians, are passionately uniting their efforts toward the day when our society and the entire world become better.
We are confident that our Foundation will serve a dual role: nurturing proud global talents of Korean descent and, concurrently, acting as a lighthouse that connects Korea with the world.
