Korean-language content I wrote and directed hit 20M+ VIEWS and 12K SUBSCRIBERS in 2 months. I write, localize, and QA Korean marketing that actually connects with Korean audiences. 🤗 ⬇️ View my portfolio below. Let's talk. ___ Pleasure to meet you. I'm Dae. Most of my clients work with me because I don't just speak Korean, I understand what makes Korean audiences stop scrolling, click, and buy. I grew a Korean-language YouTube channel from zero to 12,000 subscribers and 12 million views in two months. Every script, every hook, every word was written for a specific Korean demographic. No ads. No shortcuts. Just copy that landed. I've also worked as a Korean-language AI output evaluator, reviewing LLM responses for tone, localization accuracy, and cultural fit. I know what correct-but-wrong looks like in Korean, and I know how to fix it. Over the past year, I've worked across: - Korean copywriting (ads, landing pages, email campaigns, product descriptions) - Marketing localization and cultural adaptation - Linguistic QA and proofreading for Korean-language content - Korean social media and short-form content strategy - Brand messaging review for Korea market entry - AI output review and evaluation (Korean LLM responses) - AI language-data collection coordination (recruitment, scheduling, and automated reminder/attendance systems) ___ When you work with me, you get Korean that actually sounds Korean. Not translated, not stiff, not awkward. Every piece I write or review is held against one standard: would a native Korean audience trust this? I care about getting the nuance right. There's a real difference between Korean that reads correctly and Korean that converts, and that gap is exactly where I work. I aim for long-term partnerships where the work keeps compounding, not one-off projects that go nowhere. Looking forward to building something useful together. Feel free to reach out with any questions and we'll connect. Cheers, Dae P.S. If your use case doesn't exactly match what I listed above, reach out anyway. If it involves Korean language, Korean audiences, or Korean market entry, I'm more than willing to figure it out with you.

At A Glance: Korean Freelancers
Whether you’re a business owner looking to tap into a new market abroad or an individual hoping to increase your cultural literacy and linguistic versatility, a skilled bilingual freelancer can be a tremendous asset in helping you achieve your goals. Bilingual freelancers can assist in a variety of tasks, including localizing information with appropriate cultural references, writing or editing technical documents and marketing copy, transcribing recorded audio, or assisting with language learning. Localization can even include adapting things such as video games or films for a particular audience. One of the best ways for businesses to successfully influence a new market abroad is by crafting original content in the language of the prospective new customer base. This is well within an experienced translator’s purview. For individuals, learning a new language is personally rewarding and important in today’s world. A bilingual freelancer can offer tutoring and help you better understand the culture with which that language is associated.
Korean language skills, in particular, can be quite useful. South Korea is one of the fastest-growing developed countries in the world. Its market economy ranks 11th in the globe by nominal gross domestic product (GDP) and 13th by purchasing power parity, making it a highly desirable market for established businesses and startup entrepreneurs alike. A talented freelancer, such as those you’ll find on Upwork’s virtual marketplace, can help you connect with potential Korean investors, business partners, customers, or friends more effectively. The professionals you’ll find on Upwork are versatile, and many maintain flexible schedules in order to accommodate needs in relation to time zone differences and project deadlines.
