There has been a small number of J users in Korea. Now it's changing.

From Sep 1st to Sep 3rd, there was Alternative Language
Festival(http://altlang.org) in Korea. More than 12 alternative
programming languages were presented to the participants[1]. They
learned from the presentations and from each other, too. The number of
attendees were about 200.

I lead the J tutorial and, wow, more than 60 people gathered to learn
the language. After attending the tutorial they went out and taught J
to other people, who didn't or couldn't attend the tutorial.

At the end of the festival, there was some time when people could plan
to form new communities. J community was born.

It's just starting. http://jaylang.org

I just wish more people could appreciate this beautiful language.

[1] have a look at this photo http://blog.zeropage.org/attach/4/1633748159.jpg
You see about 12 people sitting on the stage, each person representing
his programming language community. The name of that session was "How
would you do in your language?" Basically, the presenters do the panel
discussion and debate with other programming language person,
comparing the codes.
