History

Chonnam National University was established on January 1, 1952, from the merger of five universities in South Jeolla Province.[2] A second merger with Yosu National University in 2006 created the separate Yosu Campus of CNU.

In 1980, members of the university's student body played a key role in instigating the Gwangju Uprising.[3]
