Key research directions include the reform of constitutional amendment procedures, the protection of fundamental rights in transitional contexts—especially for North Korean defectors—and the procedural fairness and efficiency of constitutional adjudication. The lab also investigates the institutionalization of emergency powers and the need for robust checks on executive authority to preserve the rule of law.
Professor Jin-gon Kim's research lab specializes in constitutional law, with a primary focus on labor rights, particularly the constitutional protection of workers' rights to organize, collectively bargain, and engage in industrial actions. The lab explores the theoretical and practical implications of constitutional rights such as the right to join or refrain from joining labor unions, examining the balance between individual freedoms and collective labor rights under the South Korean Constitution. Current research also investigates the constitutional validity of workplace union security arrangements, including 'union shop' provisions, within the broader framework of fundamental rights and state obligations.
Professor Namju Kim's research lab focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, educational technology, and the arts, with a particular emphasis on generative AI, prompt literacy, and ethical AI integration in music and art education.
