We are looking for reporters who will be on top of all the latest developments in Korean entertainment and available between these two shifts: 10:00AM ~ 7:00PM EST and 1:00AM ~ 10:00AM EST.

To apply, find a Korean news item from a Korean news source and provide an English translation for it as if it was ready to publish on allkpop. The topic of the news item should be something you're interested in, and it should be at least three paragraphs long. Make sure to include your own style and flair, because your voice is important and will make news a lot more enjoyable for our readers.

Bloggers will be required to submit bi-weekly/weekly editorials on various trending topics in Korean entertainment & culture, as well as work on special feature articles.

To apply, please submit an original opinion editorial explaining why you feel K-pop and Korean media as a whole has become such a global phenomenon. Be analytical and descriptive, while still including hard facts to support your arguments. Try to deliver your main points in 500 words or less. Please note, these op-ed blogger positions are open to all applicants, fluent or non-fluent in the Korean language. However, a strong understanding of the Korean entertainment scene and culture is a necessity.
