Abstract
SomangNet is a project that started in 2020 with a network of ten 0.4 to 1.0 m telescopes owned by Korean institutes. By coordinating observations with multiple facilities around the world, we hope to maximize the usefulness of small telescopes which are still competitive for carrying out time-domain astronomy projects. In this talk, we will give an overview of the project, outlining SomangNet facilities, its organization, and current science projects. We hope to open SomangNet for common use in 2021B, and we will present our plan regarding the use of SomangNet.
