Supernova research keeps playing a major role in advancing our understanding of the universe in various ways as exemplified by the phase “seeding the elements and measuring the universe.” The hitherto results from the inaugurating KMTNet Supernova Program, which exploits the unique 24-hour continuous sky coverage of the KMTNet system, look promising for various types of research, including detecting infant supernovae of uttermost interests, new types of rapid optical transients, various variable objects, and extragalactic objects of low surface brightness. I will present interim results from the KMTNet Supernova Program alongside the visible-infrared integral-field spectrograph proposed for the WFIRST for supernova research in collaboration between the University of Toronto and Honeywell Aerospace for Canadian Space Agency and NASA.
