The Korea Society is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization based in New York City that aims to increase awareness, understanding, and cooperation between the United States and Korea. It conducts programs and events that facilitate discussion, exchanges, and research on topics spanning public policy, corporate affairs, education, intercultural relations, and the arts, serving audiences nationwide through its New York hub and strategic partnerships with similar organizations in the United States and Korea. Founded in 1957, the society traces its origins to efforts by American leaders to foster friendly relations through mutual understanding of culture, aims, and industries. The organization relies on contributions, endowments, grants, membership dues, and program fees to support its initiatives, and it operates within the public policy and cultural diplomacy space, connecting policymakers, professionals, and cultural audiences. A recent development includes leadership changes and partnerships that broaden its outreach and programming.
