경성제국대학
After the end of World War II, Keijō Imperial University was renamed to "Kyŏngsŏng University" (). After the war, Gyeonseong University was no longer considered a Japanese university, and it was closed by the USAMGIK on August 22, 1946, under US Military Ordinance No. 102. While speaking to Korean officials, the U.S. Military Governor stated that “we (U.S.) gave a basic law enacted which will place our national university on a level equal to the best in the world."
