안녕하세요 (An-nyeong-ha-se-yo). 김대규입니다.

Friends call me Kimbo. I’m the guy behind Koreapedia - a social wiki about Korea - written in the world’s great languages.

I created Koreapedia to make it easier for non-Korean speakers to connect to Korea. To connect to their "inner Koreans".

I was born in Seoul, Korea in 1960 and immigrated to Australia as a toddler. I spent my childhood playing cricket, watching the BBC and eating bad food. Oh... and I lost all my Korean as a young child. During my childhood the hot Australian sun dried out all the Korean language out of me.

After that I have spent a lifetime reconnecting with Korea. My family has spent a century and three generations connecting East and West. Now I want to share with you all I have learnt during my journey back to Korea. I warmly welcome you to join my family's journey. Together we all can build Koreapedia as a portal where the world can connect to Korea and share in Korea’s journey.

감사합니다 (Gam-sa-hab-ni-da).
