Microsimulation model has aimed to simulate the impact of policy at the level of individual and household. Recently, microsimulation model has been widely accepted in OECD countries for evaluating their economic and social policies. For improving the availability of microsimulation model, the population data which shows good accordance with the official statistics should be required. In this paper, we generate Korean synthetic populations by using the iterative proportional updating method. For the validation of Korean synthetic populations, we compute the difference between the generated synthetic populations and the summary table of Korean census. Then, we confirm that it shows good accordance with the summary table.
