New KIIP books

By joining Korea Immigration and Integration Program (KIIP), you can learn Korean for FREE and get 'bonus points' when applying for permanent residence (VISA F5) or waive 'naturalization interview' when applying for Korean citizenship.

However, to find and buy the KIIP books are not easy for foreigners who have limited Korean proficiency. Even, people with good Korean proficiency may have to spend much time to find the books. Therefore, this post is made to help you find and buy the books like eating a piece of cake.
