N1 - Funding Information:
This work was supported by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Vision 21 Program, by the TND Frontier Project funded by KISTEP, and by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Korea through the Cavendish-KAIST Research Cooperation Center.
Funding Information:
The major research groups on spintronics other than KIST are located at universities and they are financially supported by Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). It is impossible, in a limited space, to describe the activities and also achievements done by the groups. Here, only an overall introduction will be given.

N2 - Fundamental limitation of current charge-based electronics technology is imminent as the technology progresses ever faster than before. Spin-based electronics or spintronics, which is a new field of electronics utilizing additional spin degree of freedom, is one of many technology options to fundamentally solve the limitation of current electronics. In this paper, current programs and accomplishments of spintronics research in Korea are briefly reviewed. In particular, research accomplishments achieved at KIST are described.
