In a short period of time, Korean studies in Eastern Europe have created a great demand for education and have accumulated various research achievements. At this point, more strategic attitudes and efforts are required to find a long-term and stable growth engine of this domain. Just teaching Korean language and literature well will inevitably face the limits of the development of Korean studies, and without background knowledge of the Korean region, that is, an overall understanding of history and culture, it can be regarded as a superficial education. In this regard, it seems necessary to provide education on North Korean studies that can be said to be a part of Korean studies as a whole, to build more diverse educational contents. For example, educational contents related to North Korea will contribute to the diversity of Korean studies and will also create new demand for Korean studies education in Romania.
