Won Park was born in Korea and moved to the United States when he was three years old. Origami was an important part of his life from a very young age, and he started folding paper when he was six years old. His first mentor was his mother, who taught him very simple models. As he got older, he started to study origami from library books and began folding money in middle school. He found the paper used to make the dollar was the ideal folding medium, since the paper is very resilient and strong. Since then he has specialized in folding money. He lives in Honolulu, HI.
