The Foundation displayed the new Korean translation at the Seoul International Bookfair this month. A preliminary run 100 books was done so that books would be available in time for the bookfair, and the first major run will be done in a couple of months. This is the first translation of The Urantia Book to be presented to an Asian race. South Korea is in a strategic position as it is a gateway to both the Chinese and Japanese speaking countries. There is also a strong Christian element in South Korea so the soil is fertile.

Kwan and Cathy Choi, along with representatives from the Australian of fice, Trevor Swadling and Robert Coenraads, as well as Paula Thompson from Boulder, manned the booth and met with readers and book trade personnel. the book was well received and many books were sold.
