1. Why don't you
have more updates? Who runs this website?
- This site is not
run by a company, it's run by an American named Scott Fisher. 1stopKorea
is basically a personal homepage I run in my free time as a service
to the English speaking community living, and interested, in Korea.
If you would like to submit something to put on the site or have any
questions please let me know.

2. Can you help me go to North Korea?
- Thanks to my Journey into Kimland story I'm asked this question about once a week. Unfortunately I have no way of helping anyone get into North Korea. My trip there was a lucky, apparently once-in-a-long-ass-time event. For more info I would suggest the North Korea travel specialty website (no relation to my site): Koryo Group

3. How long have you been in Korea? Where did you learn about Korea?
- I've lived in Korea (mainly Seoul) off and on since May, 1992. I've been an English teacher, businessman, TV and radio 'personality', author, interpreter/translator, and grad student. I've also helped start, own and manage two companies here in Korea.
- I graduated in 2003 from Seoul National University with an MA in Korean Studies. My focus was North Korea - U.S. relations and my thesis was on the effects of U.S. economic sanctions on North Korea.
