Our Story

It Started With One Classroom in Penang

Penang Korean Class began in 2010 when our founder Yoon Ssam — a passionate Korean educator — opened a small classroom in Penang with a simple mission: make Korean accessible to Malaysian learners. Word spread, students kept coming back, and our team grew. Today, we're still rooted in Penang, but our reach has gone global through uBitto.
