Welcome to the Korean Resource Library!


This is the first of two parts dealing with Korean resources. Tried to put in a wide variety of informative links for all kinds of things. If a link doesn't work, please drop me an email so I can either delete it or correct it.

I've tried to make things a little easier by marking Korean items IN ENGLISH with a "ball". But don't forget that there's a world of other links out there on the Internet just waiting for you to plug into...
