What I can help you with:
-English to Korean Translation & Localization
-Business Proposals, Pitch Decks, and Emails
-F&B / IT / SaaS Market Research & Document Translation
-Proofreading & Cultural Adaptation
I deliver natural, context-aware Korean translations with a strict commitment to deadlines. Let's make your content sound perfectly native to Korean professionals and consumers.

Hi, I'm Sua. I enjoy making Korean subtitles look clean, natural, and easy to follow.
I mainly edit auto-generated captions and fix timing, spacing, and awkward phrases.
I'm not highly experienced in video work, but I'm quick, careful, and I always double-check everything.
I can communicate in English without difficulty and understand simple Chinese as well.
If you want subtitles that read smoothly and feel “human,” I’m here to help.
