Aiming to be the Perennial Leader of English Education in Korea

Since its founding, YBM has been at the forefront of Korea’s English language publication market. By focusing on research and innovation, we have capitalized on this head start to become the unrivaled trendsetter for the country’s language study market more generally.

Millions of Koreans striving to achieve professional and personal goals have reached a high level of English proficiency thanks to our renowned language institutes, premium publications, and widely respected test preparation and administration services.

I believe all of this was possible because of hard work put in with the goal of making YBM the leader of English education in Korea. While we are now branching out into other languages, other subjects, and other countries, we will never forget our roots.
