Abstract
KASI is planning a large telescope project to acquire 10% share of the GMT (Giant Magellan Telescope) extremely large telescope as one of national R&D project. By participating in GMT, we expect to provide the best environment for observational astronomers in Korea and give opportunity to upgrade the current research and instrumentation level to world-leading class. In this contribution, we will report the concept of the GMT project and Korean participation plan as well as the current status of fundraising activity.
