We and our vision.

Does Korea need a Korean Koi Association?

Korean Koi Association?

This question has been echoing in my mind since 1992, when I began my Koi journey in the Netherlands. After my initial Koi purchases, I wanted to learn everything, especially about their wellbeing. Knowledge was scarce, and my first Koi didn’t survive long. But my passion was ignited, and on January 15, 1993, I founded the Nishikigoi Association Netherlands. The first Dutch Koi show in Arcen was not just a success; it sparked a passion that made Koi keeping one of the most beloved hobbies in the Netherlands. Now, I wonder: is Korea on the verge of a similar Koi revolution?

On April 18th, as I turn 66, nearly 31 years will have passed since that first show. Hence it is time for the endgame in Baduk terms: time to reap the fruits of our labor. As the PR Manager of the Goyang Koi farm, I am committed to elevating the Koi hobby in Korea to a higher, mature level, with indispensable support from CEO Kim Young Soo. My deep love for Korea, coupled with my passion for Koi, fuels this mission, evident at https://mantifang.com.

But now, it’s about Nishikigoi, deeply rooted in Korean Buddhist symbolism. The Koi-Dragon transformation embodies growth, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. This metaphorical journey, often depicted in temples, forms a perfect foundation for a flourishing Koi community in Korea. https://koitalk.app is a treasure trove of knowledge, but a real Koi association offers a more human platform for sharing experiences and expertise. Together, we can elevate the quality of Nishikigoi in Korea and build a thriving community.

Korean Koi association also for professionals

The association is a networking hub. It connects breeders, suppliers, and experts, leading to new business opportunities and customer relationships. Membership enhances visibility and esteem, both locally and internationally. By participating in activities, professionals stay abreast of the latest trends and methods, crucial for improving their practices. The association can also help position the Korean Koi industry in international markets, important for exports and foreign investments. Together, we can influence regulations and policies affecting our businesses.

The establishment of a strong and active Koi association is crucial for the growth and development of the Koi hobby in Korea. Let’s work together to bring this beautiful passion to life.

written by  Hugo J. Smal,

Hello, I am a dedicated Koi enthusiast and green journalist with rich international experience, particularly in the Netherlands and Korea. My passion for Koi has led to the development of Koitalk.app, an innovative platform that pushes the boundaries of Koi knowledge and education.

Shikibu helps with Koitalk.app

Koitalk.app is unique, not only because of its multilingual capabilities that allow users to communicate in twelve languages, but especially because of the presence of Shikibu, our advanced chatbot agent. Shikibu is not just a digital assistant; it’s a treasure trove of information about Koi. From the various varieties and their special characteristics to detailed care tips and breeding techniques, Shikibu can provide users with accurate and in-depth knowledge about every aspect of Koi fish.

It enables users not only to obtain basic care information but also to explore the complexity and subtle nuances of different Koi varieties. This knowledge is crucial for both novice enthusiasts and experienced breeders who aim for optimal care and development of their Koi.

We keep it up to date.

In addition to providing comprehensive information through Shikibu, Koitalk.app is committed to continually adding new ‘chapters’ to the Koi story. We are dedicated to constantly improving and expanding our content, ensuring Koitalk.app remains the most up-to-date and comprehensive source of Koi knowledge.
