Hyun-chul Prepares for Study In the U.S.

It was announced on April 26 that former president Kim Young-sam's second son, Hyun-chul, is planning to study in the United States for a one-year period from the coming autumn term.

"Hyun-chul will study at Austin State University from the fall. He departed Korea on April 17 and is now making the necessary preparations," said a source close to former president Kim. "As Hyun-chul has already obtained a doctoral degree in Business Administration from Korea University, I think he will pursue further postgraduate studies for about a year. He decided on this plan after consulting his father, former president Kim.

"However, as the U.S. government has not yet approved his visa application, we will have to wait and see if the plan is realized."

If the plan does go ahead, Hyun-chul will live in the United States without his family members.
