Namhee,

the rate as of July 1st, 1982, was 770 won per USD according to the Korea 
Annual 1983 (the rates for the following years should be found in the other 
yearbooks, which I don't have with me right now). I also found the KRW-USD 
forex rates starting 1986 in the 1997 T'onggye Yòn'gam: 1986: 861.4, 1987: 
792.3, 1988: 684.1, 1989: 679.6

Hope this helps,

Ruediger
