         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a transfer conveyer provided below the sheet mask folding portion and moving the sheet mask inserted into the pouch to a predetermined location. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet mask supply portion includes:
 a sheet mask cartridge in which a plurality of sheet masks are inserted in a stacked manner;   a moving carriage provided below the sheet mask cartridge and moving the sheet mask cartridge in which the sheet mask is stacked from one side of the housing to a lower side of the aperture; and   a first pressing portion provided below the sheet mask cartridge and pushing the stacked sheet mask up toward the aperture.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet mask attachment/detachment portion includes:
 an attachment/detachment plate lifted and lowered through the aperture, attaching the sheet mask thereto sequentially, and releasing the attached sheet mask;   a lifting portion lifting or lowering the attachment/detachment plate; and   a transfer portion moving and mounting the sheet mask-attached attachment/detachment plate on the sheet mask folding portion,   wherein the sheet mask is moved to an upper side of the sheet mask folding portion by the transfer portion, released from the attachment/detachment plate, and subsequently mounted on an upper surface of the sheet mask folding portion.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet mask folding portion includes:
 a base plate fixed to an upper portion of the housing; and   foldable plates provided on both sides of the base plate and folded to an upper surface of the base plate,   wherein a through hole is formed to penetrate through predetermined portions of the housing, the base plate, and the foldable plates in order to discharge the folded sheet mask to a lower side of the housing therethrough.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the pouch supply portion includes:
 a pouch cartridge provided below the housing, allowing a plurality of pouches to be stacked therein, and supplying the plurality of stacked pouches;   a pouch transfer portion having an adsorption pad for transferring the plurality of pouches stacked in the pouch cartridge to a lower side of the through hole; and   a second pressing portion pushing the plurality of pouches stacked in the pouch cartridge upwardly.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the sheet mask insertion portion is provided in the form of a plate bar lifted and lowered through the through hole, and when the sheet mask insertion portion is lowered, the sheet mask folded by the sheet mask folding portion is inserted into the pouch together with the sheet mask insertion portion through the through hole. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the sheet mask supply portion includes:
 a sheet mask cartridge in which a plurality of sheet masks are inserted in a stacked manner;   a moving carriage provided below the sheet mask cartridge and moving the sheet mask cartridge in which the sheet mask is stacked from one side of the housing to a lower side of the aperture; and   a first pressing portion provided below the sheet mask cartridge and pushing the stacked sheet mask up toward the aperture.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the sheet mask attachment/detachment portion includes:
 an attachment/detachment plate lifted and lowered through the aperture, attaching the sheet mask thereto sequentially, and releasing the attached sheet mask;   a lifting portion lifting or lowering the attachment/detachment plate; and   a transfer portion moving and mounting the sheet mask-attached attachment/detachment plate on the sheet mask folding portion,   wherein the sheet mask is moved to an upper side of the sheet mask folding portion by the transfer portion, released from the attachment/detachment plate, and subsequently mounted on an upper surface of the sheet mask folding portion.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the sheet mask folding portion includes:
 a base plate fixed to an upper portion of the housing; and   foldable plates provided on both sides of the base plate and folded to an upper surface of the base plate,   
       wherein a through hole is formed to penetrate through predetermined portions of the housing, the base plate, and the foldable plates in order to discharge the folded sheet mask to a lower side of the housing therethrough. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the pouch supply portion includes:
 a pouch cartridge provided below the housing, allowing a plurality of pouches to be stacked therein, and supplying the plurality of stacked pouches;   a pouch transfer portion having an adsorption pad for transferring the plurality of pouches stacked in the pouch cartridge to a lower side of the through hole; and   a second pressing portion pushing the plurality of pouches stacked in the pouch cartridge upwardly.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the sheet mask insertion portion is provided in the form of a plate bar lifted and lowered through the through hole, and when the sheet mask insertion portion is lowered, the sheet mask folded by the sheet mask folding portion is inserted into the pouch together with the sheet mask insertion portion through the through hole.
