Lee Won-pyo(네모아저씨), known by his popular online persona “네모아저씨” (Mr. Square), is a renowned Korean origami designer and content creator who has captivated audiences worldwide with his innovative paper-folding creations.
Lee’s passion for origami began in childhood when he used his saved pocket money to purchase his first origami book. He would spend day and night folding colorful paper, buying stacks of origami paper to fuel his creative pursuits. However, his early enthusiasm was temporarily halted when he became seriously ill from the toxicity of the colored papers available at the time (this was before non-toxic origami paper became widely available).
After becoming an adult, Lee worked as a fashion designer, creating clothing design blueprints for a fashion company. It was during this period that he found renewed inspiration for origami through clothing patterns, leading him to rediscover his childhood passion and begin his journey as a professional origami artist.
Today, Lee Won-pyo has established himself as one of Korea’s most influential origami content creators, reaching over 500,000 subscribers across multiple digital platforms including YouTube, Naver TV, and M-gun. Through his engaging tutorials and innovative designs, he continues to share the joy and art of origami with enthusiasts of all ages.
