How we started our publishing company

We noticed there wasn’t a lot of info on Korea, so we began creating helpful content to promote our business.

In 2020, the pandemic cut our translation business in half and forced us to sit still for the first time in years. We used that opportunity to grow our site from a few hundred visitors a month to 100,000.

We have a simple philosophy: provide the most accurate, interesting and fun info on Korea possible.

Now we enjoy writing more than translating, so we pivoted to publishing.

Our goal is to fill in the knowledge gaps about Korean lifestyle, beauty, travel, and culture.

Things we love about Korea

We hope you enjoy our books!

Minjung, Richard and the team
