With my extensive experience in translation, subtitling, transcription, transcreation, proofreading, social media management, website maintenance, and data entry, I am well-equipped to handle any task thrown my way. My proficiency in both English and Korean has enabled me to proofread AI-generated translations for a government-funded program. An example of my adaptability and versatility is my ability to work across various fields, such as legal, medical, and technical, each requiring a unique set of skills and knowledge. As a freelancer for 19 years, I have worked with numerous clients on various projects. A highlight of my career was serving as the head editor for Chelsea FC, one of the world's most successful football clubs. For nine years, I managed the club's official Korean website and social media accounts for the Korean market. This role honed my skills in marketing, content management, social media strategy, and audience engagement, which will be invaluable in this role. I also have abundant experience translating/localizing websites, research papers, dissertations, financial documents, legal documents, screenplays, technical manuals, web novels, webcomics, press releases, medical journals, and many more documents in almost every field. I am a hard-working, diligent, and responsible professional who takes every project seriously. I approach every assignment with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality, treating it as if it were my own to ensure the satisfaction of everyone involved. With my can-do attitude and unwavering commitment to excellence, I am confident that I can excel in any role. Thank you for your consideration.

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 - AI output review and evaluation (Korean LLM responses) - Korean social media and short-form content strategy - Brand messaging review for Korea market entry ___ 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.
