He received his PhD from Columbia University in 1964 with a thesis Korean Communism and the rise of Kim.[5] He also later worked as a researcher there.[3] In 1989, he was a visiting professor at Seoul National University. From 1999 to 2000, he worked as the Yongjae Distinguished Professor at Yonsei University.[3]
