ABSTRACT

As is well-known, the Korean Association of Translation Studies (KATS) held the inaugural meeting in 1999 at Sejong University. Before the KATS held the inaugural meeting on October 30, 1999, professor Ryu Myung-woo and Kim Ji-won prepared the establishment of the KATS for almost a year. Kim Yong-kwon was invited as first president of the KATS. Within a year after the establishment of the academic society, the first volume of its academic journal The Journal of Translation Studies was published. Until 2007, the journal continued to be published biannually. From 2008 to 2011, they published the journal as a quarterly and since 2012, the journal is being published five times a year including an English volume. The society’s journal was listed in the Korea Research Foundation in 2007. When the society was published, the members were about 250, and within a year the members were increased to more than 550. The Korean-translation of Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies was published in 2009 after almost six years’s work. The first international conference was held in 2009. The best paper award was established in 2011 with the fund of advisor Kim Ji-won. It has past 15 years since KATS was established. During that time, the society comes to have its own history and it is needed to leave its history in writing. That is why the advisors, the former presidents of the society are interviewed. This is the record of their interview. Some informations scattered in the journals are included.
