With extensive experience in Administrative Law and Urban Planning in South Korea, Prof. Dr. Choi Jong Kwon – Director of Han Viet Platform – has become a key figure in promoting high-quality human resource cooperation, particularly the E7-1 engineer program, between the two nations.
A Leading Scholar from Seoul National University
Before becoming a prominent entrepreneur connecting the Vietnam-Korea markets, Dr. Choi Jong Kwon was a highly respected scholar in the legal field in Korea. He successfully defended his PhD in Administrative Law at the Law Research Institute of Seoul National University (SNU) – South Korea’s most prestigious institution, known for cultivating top leaders and politicians.
Beyond theoretical research, Dr. Choi has taught at Chung-Ang University and directly contributed to the development of public policies, consumer protection laws, and constitutional regulations in Korea. This solid legal foundation serves as a “compass,” enabling him to operate international cooperation programs with standard compliance and transparency.
Passion for Urban Development and Policy in Vietnam
Beginning his journey in Vietnam in 2016, Prof. Dr. Choi Jong Kwon has dedicated significant effort to high-level policy advisory projects. He frequently serves as an expert consultant for the Ministry of Construction of Vietnam on critical strategies, such as: Social housing development, smart city planning in the Mekong Delta, and the urban redevelopment of the Red River banks.
His deep understanding of the culture and the similarities in the urbanization processes of both countries has led him to be a member of the Scientific Council at several prestigious research institutes. He not only brings Korean technology to Vietnam but also strives to help Vietnamese engineers access professional working environments in Korea through secure legal frameworks.
Han Viet Platform and the Mission to Elevate Vietnamese Engineers
As the Director of Han Viet Platform, Dr. Choi Jong Kwon has actualized his vision through practical cooperation programs. Rather than being just a conventional recruitment agency, Han Viet Platform, under his leadership, focuses on a Training – Evaluation – Connection model.
“My goal is not just to assist Vietnamese engineers in working in Korea, but to build a sustainable career path where workers’ rights are maximally protected by the transparent legal foundations of both countries.” — Prof. Dr. Choi Jong Kwon
Regarding the E7-1 engineer program, Dr. Choi plays the role of legal auditor and quality guarantor for personnel. He believes that a Vietnamese engineer working in Korea needs not only high technical skills but also protection through a rigorous contract system and professional training support from native experts.
The companionship of Prof. Dr. Choi Jong Kwon at Han Viet Platform is not only a testament to the brand’s reputation but also a commitment to sustainability and transparency for the future of thousands of Vietnamese engineers in Korea.
