Korean paper money has very limited denominations: 1000, 5000, 10000, and 50000.
As the amount increases, the paper size also increases.
The 50k is the very recent addition to this. It has has been a long over due one, and it is the only bill with a woman featured on it. There has been proposals to have a 100k bill since it might be really handful to just carry 10k's and 50k's but it hasn't pushed thru because of the possibility of easier source of corruption.
I have yet to see if they would decide to do so in the future.
