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.
