In the early 1970s, there were only a limited number of mass spectrometers in Korea and experts to whom you could ask about mass spectrometers. Two magnetic sector instruments were bought to Korea by the Japanese reparations as a result of the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea signed in 1965. One was operated at the Seoul National University (SNU) and the other was at the Ginseng and Tobacco Research Institute. It was too early to see any quadrupole mass spectrometer even at laboratories of developed countries. The first mass spectrometer installed for research purpose was the VG ZAB-E at the Professor MyungSoo Kim’s (MSK) laboratory at SNU. It is fair to say that his laboratory was the only one in Korea where students could be trained as mass spectroscopist. In the middle of 1970s the Korean government had a loan from both IBRD and ADB to invest into modernization of analytical instruments to be used for educational purposes. But most of instruments became idle after several months or so due to lack of infrastructure needed for proper maintenance. It was the time when foreign currency was tightly controlled by the central government. The main surge of mass spectrometers into Korea was some time before the Game of the Olympiad, Seoul in 1988 by installing modern analytical instruments needed to setup the Doping Control Center (DCC) established in 1986. Many of GC/MS were installed and scientists with analytical backgrounds were recruited. The DCC laboratory was headed by Dr. Jong-Sei Park (JSP). Many
