Ph.D., J.D. Born in Seoul in 1936, Joungwon Kim graduated from Kyunggi High School before embarking on a journey to the United States, becoming the first Korean student admitted to Phillips Exeter Academy. While at Harvard University, he made history as the first Korean student body president and garnered national recognition when he penned a rebuttal to a Boston Globe article titled “Korea a Costly Den of Thieves,” instilling pride in post-war Koreans during a time of national uncertainty.
He later earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and conducted research at prestigious institutions such as the Brookings Institution, the Washington Center of Foreign Policy Research, Columbia University’s Research Institute on Communist Affairs and Harvard Law School’s East Asian Legal Studies program. Transitioning into academia, he served as a professor at Rutgers University before pursuing a J.D. at Harvard Law School. As a lawyer at Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander, he earned the distinction of being the first Korean attorney on Wall Street.
In 1987, he returned to the Republic of Korea to contribute to its democratization. He served as Deputy Director for International Affairs at the National Security Planning Agency (now the National Intelligence Service), Ambassador-at-Large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and President of the Korea Foundation. After retiring from public service, he continued his career as a university professor and international arbitrator at the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. He passed away on January 25, 2023, and in accordance with his wishes, Memorial Association for Dr. Joungwon Kim was established.

A Trailblazing Life of “Firsts”
Joungwon Kim’s life was marked by a series of historic firsts: the first Korean student at Phillips Exeter Academy (p.40), the first Korean student body president at Harvard University (p.64), the first Korean author published in the world-renowned journal Foreign Affairs (p.109), the key figure behind the introduction of Korean politicians Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung to Washington’s political circles (pp.29, 115), and the first Korean lawyer to join a major Wall Street law firm (p.129). His journey across academia, diplomacy, and law offers a gripping narrative of ambition and service. A True Noblesse Oblige: A Legacy of Giving Inspired by his grandfather, who donated his entire fortune to local schools, Joungwon Kim lived a life of generosity. While at Harvard, he refused financial support from his parents, arguing that his tuition-over 20 times Korea’s per capita GDP-should instead be used to fund scholarships for 50 to 100 other Korean students (p.62). Despite earning two doctorate degrees from the most prestigious U.S. institutions, he relied primarily on scholarships and considered it his duty to repay this debt to society. Without seeking publicity, he quietly dedicated himself to philanthropy throughout his life. What We Leave Behind and How We Are Remembered Joungwon Kim’s final chapter was guided by the Aging Communication Center’s Legacy Project, which preserves personal histories as cultural heritage. This initiative donates significant life artifacts to museums and libraries, ensuring that individual legacies contribute to the collective good. His personal belongings-90 boxes of household items-were donated to seven charitable organizations, while 682 books and historical records were gifted to institutions including the War Memorial of Korea, the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, the Presidential Archives, the Yongsan History Museum, the National Assembly Library, the Korea National Diplomatic Academy Library, and the National Library of Korea. Proceeds from book sales will be allocated to scholarship funds. A Life Devoted to Korea and Democracy Throughout his student years, Joungwon Kim displayed unwavering patriotism, hanging a large Korean flag (Taegeukgi) in his dormitory to remind himself of his homeland and family (p.48). Representing the United States at the World Festival of Youth and Students in Helsinki, he carried the Taegeukgi to promote Korea on the international stage (p.93). During Korea’s pro-democracy movement of the 1980s, his book Divided Korea became essential reading for social science students (p.164). Upon returning to Korea in 1987, he played a pivotal role in communicating the realities of Korean politics to the international community, effectively serving as the foreign press spokesperson for the United Democratic Movement (p.140). |
