A private, non-profit society devoted to supporting Koreans — a room where insight moves between people, and where the next person finds their way in.
In Vancouver. Small gatherings around a single insight, held by dialogue and kindness. Not a lecture. Not networking. A quiet room, and time enough for the conversation that matters.
An intimate room, in Vancouver, for those who bring something to the fire — and for those still learning what they can bring.
The name means a small fire.
- 01
Economic power in Canada
Business owners and specialists across industries, in one room. Influence that is real, built city by city.
- 02
The next generation
Students, those with potential but no access, those without a mentor. A seat at the fire that would otherwise be closed to them.
- 03
A Korean voice in Canadian society
Beyond individual achievement, a shared presence. The kind that shifts what Canadian rooms sound like when Koreans are in them.
We gather around insight, and keep the door open.
From one million, to ten, to a hundred: what changes at each stage of a business.
Founded in 2001. Built through the carbon-credit and EV-charger markets to a group of companies now valued at roughly a hundred billion won.
MODAK will be formally incorporated as a non-profit on this evening.

“I'm still in conversation with people I first met in this room.”
“It wasn't a place to hear an answer. It was a place to hold each other's questions.”
“I hadn't known that Vancouver could hold this density of conversation.”
The point is to support one another — to move insight between people who would otherwise never share a room, and to hold the door open for the next person coming up.
MODAK is a private, non-profit society in Vancouver.
