This report lists and illustrates 35 insect species from a collection of 129 specimens gathered by D. M. Seok, the first Korean entomologist. Most of Seok's collections were preserved at Kyushu University in Japan for about 90 years before being relocated to NIBR (National Institute of Biological Resources) in Korea in September 2024.
