Congratulations to Kyung Hwan Kim, SWS, for achieving highest honors in the Spanish Wine Scholar exam with WSA Wine Academy, Seoul.

About Kyung Hwan Kim:

I am a cardiac surgeon. Currently I am in Seoul National University Hospital as a chairman and professor of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery and staff surgeon.  My main field is heart valve surgery and aorta operation. I have been working since 1998.

I love wine and had a chance to visit Napa, Argentina, Bourgogne, Greece, Portugal, Rioja, Southern Australia and New Zealand...Last year, I had a chance to study WSET L2 intermediate level course. It was such an impressive course. After I completed the whole course, I proceeded my endeaver to WSET L3, FWS, IWS unit 1 & 2, and finally SWS recently. I got four certificiations in 2021...It was so strenuous and exhausting but I learned so much.

As a doctor and as a wine lover, I would like to contribute interpersonal communication via wine, and in the near future, I will take on the challenge of the WSET diploma course.
