Does anyone know any Korean Origami Groups?

Post by Augustus Agamemnon »

Does anyone know if there are any origami groups in Korea? I'm South Korean, but I've rarely heard of any Korean Origami Artists.

Yes, there definitely is a Korean Origami Group, at least they do annual Conventions.
Their website should be http://www.origami.or.kr but when I try to access it, I get a security alert from my browser, so I'm a bit worried to proceed.
I've also been contacted by the Korean Paper Culture Foundation before: http://www.paperculture.or.kr

One active folder I know of is Jassu.

You're right, but does anyone know any other origami artists(excluding Yonk Ik Jang)?

Well, at least I am Korean... :)
Btw except for the official association, we don't really have any groups to call as 'groups'.. we just seperately meet each others in online cafe and sometimes have meetings in offline.

That may explain why there aren't many of them.
