Kim Jun-young (born September 25, 1951) is a South Korean economist, professor, and the current 19th president of Sungkyunkwan University.[1] Under his leadership, the university has made globalisation a top priority, actively seeking partnerships with foreign universities to expand two-way student exchange.[2] Kim is one of Korea's leading experts on macroeconomics, and he still teaches a popular class on the subject, rare for a Korean university president.[3] He has published numerous books on the subject, including one bestseller, Macroeconomics.[4]

He received his Bachelor of Economics from Sungkyunkwan University in 1975. He received his MS in 1979 and PhD in 1984, both from the Graduate School of Economics of University of Minnesota. He received an honorary doctorate of Law from National Chengchi University in 2011.
