The Korean Society for Extracellular Vesicles (KSEV), established in June 2009, was the world's first society dedicated to extracellular vesicles and exosomes. Since then, it has been holding regular academic conferences every year, leading the academic development in the field of extracellular vesicles in Korea. Over the past three years, the consistent organization of summer workshops involving industry and government stakeholders, along with the annual conferences of the Korean Society for Extracellular Vesicles (KSEV), has significantly enhanced collaboration within the EV field and contributed to the overall improvement of human health.

As of 2024, KSEV has established itself as an academic society with 500 members from academia and industry. Additionally, society members played significant roles as executives in the founding and development of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) since 2012. KSEV is a leading organization globally contributing to the advancement of the exosome field.

In 2019, KSEV played a pivotal role in founding the Asian Pacific Societies for Extracellular Vesicles, successfully organizing the first annual conference (APSEV2019) in Jeju, which was attended by 500 delegates from Korea, Japan, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. This September, they are preparing to host the ISEV Blood EVs Workshop in Seoul, aiming to facilitate a significant leap forward through global collaboration with other national exosome societies.
