I was in Seoul for three years in the late 1990's and became really good friends with a few Koreans. After leaving Korea in 2000, we all stayed in touch via email for a few years but eventually lost contact with one another.

I would like to re-establish contact with them but they have all moved from their previous addresses. I know their names, universities, etc., but haven't been able to locate them using google (many Kims, Lees, etc. with the same names, university, etc.)

My Korean language skills are almost non existent; anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find these old friends? No ad hominem attacks please!

If you find something, I'm interested in hearing about it. There are two Koreans I'd like to get in touch with but haven't for almost 15 years. God knows where they are now.

I lost contact with a pal of 10 yrs, and found him on Cyworld. I don't know Korean, so I had another friend help me. I think almost every Korean on the planet has a Cyworld page.

Find someone that knows Korean and is willing to search for you. Best of luck ^^
