I cover a wide range of stories about Korean society — one of the most dynamic places in the world. To me, journalism means being on the ground, uncovering untold stories and amplifying marginalized voices, especially in an era when AI is reshaping the media landscape. That’s why I’m always here to listen. Tips and stories are welcome — feel free to reach out via email. Before becoming a journalist, I traveled through 24 countries over 702 days, served two years as a military police officer in the Republic of Korea Air Force and later studied filmmaking at the Korea National University of Arts.

Seoul released the first issue of Seoul Life, an online newsletter for foreigners in Korea. It will also unveil the debut episode of a vlog created by international students and foreign residents living in the capital.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on Wednesday, the newsletter will be emailed to subscribers twice a month. Written and reviewed by 12 foreign content creators and 10 translators, it will be available in both Korean and English.
Subscriptions are available through news.seoul.go.kr and an e-book version will later be accessible on global.seoul.go.kr
The vlog series, titled Home Sweet Home, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of foreign residents of Seoul. It will be uploaded to youtube.com/@SeoulGlobalCenter.
Aimed at providing practical information for foreigners considering studying or relocating to Seoul, the first episode features an international student from Uzbekistan. The video shares her personal experiences and offers valuable tips for those planning to study in Korea.
“We hope international residents and students in Korea can share helpful information about life in Seoul,” said Lee Hae-Sun, director-general for the Global City Policy Bureau.
“We will continue working to provide diverse content that offers indirect experiences for those abroad who dream of studying or relocating to Seoul, a leading global city,” he added.
