This first amendment (the "First Amendment") amends and supplements the
statement on Schedule 13D, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on December 15, 2003 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College
("Harvard"), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of The Korea Fund, a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer").
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Harvard met with the Issuer's Board of Directors on December 16, 2003.
They discussed a number of matters relating to the Issuer and investments,
including actions the Issuer could take to eliminate or narrow the spread
between the market and net asset values of the Issuer's Common Stock. Harvard
urged that the Issuer take prompt and effective action in that regard. Harvard
reviewed the tender offer for up to 10% of the Common Stock and program which
may result in a similar offer being made in each of the next two years announced
by the Issuer on January 21, 2004. Harvard believes the tender offer and the
program are inadequate and so informed the Issuer.
Except as described above, Harvard does not have any plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in parts (a)
through (j) of Item 4. Harvard reserves the right to make any such plans or
proposals in the future or to take any other steps to enhance the value of its
investment.
