I help global teams turn English or global content into Korean content that reads naturally, keeps the search intent, and makes the product easier to trust.

Iโ€™ve written 60+ published commercial pieces and handled the full workflow from SERP research and outlining to writing, CMS publishing and final edits. I also bring content strategy and Korean audience insight to the work. I look at search intent, trust signals, platform behaviour and what Korean readers actually need before they click, stay or buy. What I can help with: โ€ข Korean SEO articles and blog content โ€ข EN-KR localisation and transcreation โ€ข Korean landing page and website copy โ€ข Korean content audits for translated or underperforming pages โ€ข Korean market content strategy and content angles โ€ข SaaS, tech, Web3 and regulated commercial content โ€ข Reader-facing copy that sounds natural, not machine-translated โญ Best fit: teams that need Korean content to sound like it was written for Korean readers, not just translated into Korean.

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.

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.
