I guess this is because there is no organizational structure in the 
Korean OSM community (yet). No IRL meetings, no roles, no 
responsiblities, maybe not even a common language. As everyone can see 
discussions on talk-ko happen to be mainly in English, so most mombers 
are "expats" me included, and I am even not any more in Korea.
