Wikipedia Overview
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was unofficially established in South Korea as early as World War II due to religious influence by servicemen who were church members. However, Korean people did not begin to get baptized until the missionary efforts of Latter-day Saint servicemen during the Korean War. Kim Ho Jik was the first Korean person to be baptized into the church on July 29, 1951, in New York. Two of his children were of the first four Korean people baptized in Korea on August 3, 1952. The church's presence and missionary work was officially established on April 20, 1956, with the arrival of two missionaries: Don G. Powell and Richard L. Detton. The Korean Mission opened on July 8, 1962, with Gail E. Carr as its first president. Successful missionary work led to the church's growth in the 1960s and 1970s leading to the organization of the first stake in Korea in 1973 and the dedication of the first temple in Seoul on December 14, 1985.
