When every word counts, rely on a proven professional Korean translator for your Korean translation needs.

I mainly work with companies, lawyers, and investors (as well as multilingual translation agencies), but I also welcome inquiries from individuals and others who value high-quality work.

… I think one of the crucial factors that makes you a good translator is your excellent Korean-reading skills. In fact, you have the greatest Korean-reading skills among non-native translators I’ve ever seen, and you are even better than native Korean translators in your fields. I’ve learned much from you about how I should develop my own skills. I appreciate your service...
