Yonsei University School of Business's Sangnam Institute of Management said on the 18th that it opened the "8th advanced real estate management program" to respond to the rapidly changing real estate market environment.
The program is designed to deepen expertise in real estate and broaden insight to cultivate real estate managers who will lead the Korean economy.
The advanced program is overseen by head professor Ko Jun-seok, CEO of J-edu WM. Ko, a leading real estate expert in the banking sector who served as head of the Real Estate Investment Advisory Center at Shinhan Bank, currently communicates with the public through the YouTube channel "Gobuja." Ko is regarded as an expert who combines theory and practice, having authored 10 books, including "Real estate tycoons" and "Gangnam rich."
The faculty consists of experts representing each field, including finance, investment, practice, law and tax. Park Won-gap, senior specialist at KB Kookmin Bank, and Lee Sang-geon, head of the Mirae Asset Investment and Pension Center, will lecture on the macroeconomy and asset allocation strategies. Kim Seon-tae, executive director at ADF Investment, and Moon Jong-gwan, CEO of Iger Liveit Equity, will provide practical investment insights.
Field-centered analysis will be handled by Kim Je-kyung, head of Toome Real Estate; Lee Joo-hyeon, specialist at GGAuction; and Kim In-man, head of the Real Estate Research Institute, covering hands-on strategies. In policy and trends, Woo Jong-cheol, director at the Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO); Lim Dong-seop, CEO of RMI Korea; and Lee Jong-bae, deputy managing editor at Financial News, will participate. Risk management and tax strategies will be covered by loss assessor Yoon Seong-yeol and tax accountant Hwang Jae-gyu to strengthen participants' decision-making capabilities.
The curriculum is designed in an organic form that combines theory and practice. Starting with the outlook for the real estate market in the first half of this year, it covers practice-centered core topics such as reconstruction and redevelopment investment, real estate public auctions, small- and mid-scale housing development, and tax-saving strategies based on changes in the tax code.
Park Se-beom, head of the Sangnam Institute of Management, said, "We opened this program to research and analyze the flood of real estate measures day after day and to cultivate top real estate executives."
Graduates will receive a certificate of completion signed by the president of Yonsei University and the head of the Sangnam Institute of Management. Benefits include discounts at the Severance Health Checkup Center and opportunities to build personal networks. Even after completion, ongoing knowledge-sharing opportunities will be provided through special after-school lectures.
The 8th program will be held every Tuesday evening at the Sangnam Institute of Management on Yonsei University's Sinchon campus, starting with the entrance ceremony on the 31st. The cohort will be around 50 people, targeting corporate executives and senior officials at public institutions, as well as professionals interested in real estate.
