Kwanwoo Jung is a policy leader with eight years of government experience shaping South Korea’s space development, exploration, and international cooperation, now serving as Director of the International Affairs Division at KASA. He has led high-stakes programs from the Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter to multi‑hundred‑million dollar satellite and constellation initiatives, and steered national strategies including long‑term satellite roadmaps and space situational awareness. A University of Chicago MPP alumnus with a technical BS in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Seoul National University, he blends technical literacy with policy design and program management. His background includes defense planning as a naval officer and diverse stints across ministries, giving him a rare mix of operational, legal, and commercial perspectives on space policy. Despite a concise GitHub tagline—“Build something”—his career shows a track record of turning strategic plans into funded, operational projects that advance Korea’s space capabilities.
