History of cubing in Korea
Beginnings
The first South Korean to speedsolve was Lee Jun-Kyo, who competed in the World Championship 2005. Upon coming back to Korea, he became the first to let known in Korea that such competitions existed. At the time, there was one big cube group, a community page in one of the Korean community websites, translating to "solving the Rubik's Cube." Jun-Kyo was a member of the group and suggested there that such competitionts should be held in Korea. The administrators of the group found members who could speak another language. One such competitotor was Ilkyoo Choi.
Ilkyoo sent emails back and forth with Tyson Mao and Ron van Bruchem, but there were miscommunicatoins. Mr. Huang, the distributor of Rubik's Cube in Korea and who worked for Seven Towns, became the first delegate.
