August 23, 2018 UPDATE:

Hey guys,

This is Michael- the guy who helped Won film and upload it to this channel, 8 years ago. We did this late at night on Won's last day in Los Angeles, visiting out here from Hawaii.

Won is not on the computer very much. I apologize to everyone who has had trouble following Marcio's diagrams and this video series. It was aimed to be a supplement to the diagrams- not on full-on, professionally filmed and edited video that carries a raw beginner from step A through Z. This is a rather complex model and to save us time, we started at the scales, rather than the beginning. If you can't follow along from this point, then, to put it kindly, you probably need more practice.

Since this video, there are a couple of other video tutorials floating around out there (please note: Without the consent of Won Park). Hopefully these are more helpful to you.

I'm put off by so many rude comments from people who don't sound very deserving of further help. Won had his friend Marcio create diagrams (many hours put into this. Are they perfect? No. But better than nothing for those with a passion to try and fold this model). Won then made these diagrams freely available across the internet. For those searching for them, just run a Google search. They're also in the file section of Won's Moneyfolders Unite Yahoo group. And of course, they later were published in his first book.

Personally having known Won for well over 16 years, I can tell you that he is extremely generous with people. So it saddens me just how demanding and ungrateful some people are across cyberspace. Sorry if these videos wasted your time; we felt our time was well spent when we could have been doing other things on Won's last night in Los Angeles instead of trying to help people out there who ached to fold the koi.

Again, even with the best of tutorials, this is a challenging model. I've seen few people- even advanced folders- who can shape it as well as Won Park does.

Good luck!
