In Seoul Korea, the Green Map project had a slow start, but a new leader, Woo-young Jung, and colleagues at KFEM (Korean Federation for Environmental Movement) moved ahead quickly. Woo-young posted the Green Map in early 2001! This beautifully designed map indicates environmentally friendly places in green icons and environmentally problematic places which need citizens' continuous monitoring in red icons. Eun-Sook Kwon, a professor of industrial design at Kaist University, began working on the Seoul Green Map a couple of years ago, and acted as advisor to Woo-young on this map. Woo-young also began working on a website to help other Korean Green Map projects get started!

In 2000 Hwang Yoon Hye, a landscape architecture student at Seoul National University Environment Studies Department, worked with high school students to create Green Map for Seocho-Ku, one of the greener districts of Seoul. Her senior project was selected as the best landscape architecture project and published in a national magazine! Congrats to Hwang Yoon Hye.
