I am a professional translator between English and Korean. I have worked in this area for the last 6 years, involved in various translation projects. I was born in South Korea and had lived in the U.S. for 20 years, and now I am living in South Korea, so I am pretty much bilingual. I've got Ph.D. in Visual Science at New York University. Thus, I am not only proficient in translation, but also well-read in various topics.

Japanese and Korean are my primary language pair, and I focus specifically on business translation, the kind where getting the register wrong or missing a cultural layer costs you the deal. My background is in management consulting and enterprise tech (McKinsey, Datadog). That means I understand what I'm translating beyond the words: why a Korean executive memo is written the way it is, how pitch decks need to shift for a Japanese vs. Western audience, and what a contract clause actually means in context. I've spent years working inside Asian institutional environments at Keio University and Yonsei University, which sharpens the professional and cultural fluency that no language course gives you. [What I translate] - Business contracts and partnership agreements - Corporate pitch decks and investor materials - Executive communications and internal memos - Market entry reports and competitive research - Product documentation and SaaS UI/UX copy - HR documentation, onboarding materials, and policies - Email correspondence and client-facing communications - Business proposals and RFP responses [Language pairs] Korean ↔ English (primary, native-level proficiency) Japanese ↔ English (business-level, written documents and correspondence) Korean ↔ Japanese (available on request) [Why hire me over a general translator] Most translators give you technically accurate output. What they often miss is register, hierarchy, and intent, especially in Korean and Japanese business communication, where those things carry significant meaning. I've worked directly with both countries' executives, participated in international business programs, and operated in corporate environments. I translate the business logic, not just the sentences. [Typical deliverables] - Full document translation with original formatting preserved - Side-by-side bilingual versions for review or legal use - Light editing and post-processing of machine-translated content (MT review) - Localization consulting for teams entering the Korean or Japanese market [Working style] Fast response time. Clear communication throughout. I'll flag anything ambiguous before delivering, not after. If a term doesn't have a clean equivalent, I'll note it and give you options rather than guessing. If you're working on something with real stakes like a funding round, a market entry, a partnership negotiation, message me and we can scope it.
