After obtaining diplomas from the University of Exeter in England and The New School in New York, Park Jae-kyu gained his PhD from Kyunghee University in South Korea.

As a Professor at Kyungnam University, Park launched the Institute of Far Eastern Studies (IFES)[2] in 1972 in order to promote peace and Korean reunification through scholarly projects.

He continues to advise the president of South Korea on matters related to Korean reunification, and participates in the Presidential Committee on Social Cohesion.
