  "summary": "The Korea Times has released its University Rankings 2027, which evaluate 60 universities across four key categories: education, research, student support, and graduate outcomes. The rankings aim to highlight how well Korean universities are fostering sustainable environments for international students and scholars, moving away from a focus on mere enrollment numbers to assess the quality and depth of internationalization. This year's evaluation is based on 19 indicators, totaling 200 points, with 65 percent of the score directly tied to globalization efforts. The report presents the top 30 universities overall, as well as the top 30 in each individual category, reflecting the growing competition for international students and the evolving criteria for university excellence in the region.",
