Kim Soo-jung (Korean: 김수정; born July 31, 1950) is a South Korean cartoonist and animator best known as the creator of Dooly the Little Dinosaur.[1] His debut occurred in 1975 after he won the Hanguk Ilbo daily comics contest.[2] In April 1983, Dooly the Dinosaur was first published in Bomulseom.[3]
