Ask the Tiger About Your Career!… AI Career Chatbot “HORANG2” Officially Launched 

To commemorate its 120th anniversary, the Career Development Center at Korea University Business School (KUBS) has officially launched HORANG2, an AI-powered career exploration chatbot built on Large Language Model (LLM) technology. The initiative was designed to help students explore their career paths more efficiently and in a personalized way, and is particularly meaningful as it was developed with the active participation of current KUBS students. 

HORANG2 combines the latest GPT language model with KUBS’s internal database to provide personalized job information tailored to each student’s major, interests, and career goals. The platform is also integrated with more than 4,000 LinkedIn profiles of KUBS alumni, offering broader networking opportunities and allowing students to directly request coffee chats (1:1 mentoring sessions). In addition, HORANG2 supports academic exploration by enabling students to search the research areas of KUBS faculty members. 

The chatbot was developed in collaboration with 'Absent', a startup team formed by KUBS students Yongseok Lee and Gyuri Kwon (Business ‘20). After approximately five months of planning, development, and testing, HORANG2 was officially launched on May 5, coinciding with Korea University’s founding day. 

Students can access HORANG2 through various channels, including: 

△ Clicking the main banner on the KUBS homepage △ Visiting the official website: https://horang2.co.kr △ Scanning the QR code on the KUBS official Instagram account 

To enhance user convenience, the platform now offers improved accessibility for English-speaking users. It also includes updated features such as multilingual responses and international job postings based on input in foreign languages—specifically designed to support international students. 

A representative from the Career Development Center remarked, “We hope HORANG2 will serve as a truly helpful career navigation platform for our students. Moving forward, we plan to build a closely connected career ecosystem that links students, employers, and the university by continuously expanding job information, improving response accuracy, and upgrading our database.” Meanwhile, HORANG2 is set to evolve based on ongoing user feedback, with upcoming feature enhancements including improved job-matching algorithms, a strengthened alumni network, and integrated recruitment event information.
