Send in a short sample of your writing. It can be an excerpt from any creative writing you've done in the past or perhaps a paper you've done for school.

Once reviewed, an article will be sent to you for you to translate and send back to us.

> Fashion Blogger:
Submit an analytical piece on an outfit worn by a Korean celebrity with an attached photo. The photo can be from any event or production, as long as it is recent (less than six months old).
A formal writing style is not necessary for this particular application. However, things like grammar, spelling, flow, and vocabulary are still important.

> Music Reviewer:
The review section on allkpop is a great platform for those passionate about music to express their opinions on current K-Pop releases.
We help broaden the range of Korean music awareness as well as enrich our readers with the production process behind our favorite K-Pop songs. Because our reviews are editorial based, we require our reviewers to have a strong command of written English and a strong understanding of the inner workings of the K-Pop industry.
Provide us with an analytical, yet assessable review of either a current K-Pop album or mini album released this month to apply for this position. This position is open to those fluent or non-fluent in the Korean language.

> Op-Ed Bloggers / Special Features:
Bloggers will be required to submit 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.
