Hansei University began under the auspices of the Protestant (Yoido Full Gospel Church) community and, with over 70 years of tradition, has played a key role in Christian higher education in Korea. Starting as Full Gospel Theological Seminary, then Sunshin University, it eventually adopted its current name, expanding its academic scope to theology, social welfare, arts, media, and more. Many alumni are active as musicians, artists, pastors, and social welfare experts both in Korea and abroad, demonstrating the power of Hansei’s practical and humanities-integrated education.
