Yes to everything but "High working proficiency in Korean (written and spoken)." Drat. Although I guess that's the point. :)

Sounds like something HeadsNo2 used to do. Does that mean she will not be back 😭?

Good luck to everyone who will apply!

*is totally not buttering up the future Sr. Editor to approve an "Oh Snap! Applebutt!" series*

Ok, that is one scary job description. It makes me appreciate even more javabeans, girl friday, and Heads.

Now THIS sounds difficult! The overlords really have to work a lot! I will be rooting for @mary if she decides to apply!

I definitely don't meet the requirements but I am glad DB is opening it's upper gates for more ppl!

May the best- and funniest- win!

Hwaiting!

I was so excited until I read about the proficiency in Korean. Will watch out for other openings in case you need a junior editor.

Can a pass this link to another websites where people discuss Korean dramas???

If only I read Korean 😭😭😭

As I read on the post, I realized this is what I would love to do on a daily basis, reading news related to Kdramas and drama casting after waking up every morning, with a cup of coffee, and getting excited about which of my lovelies are coming back with more dramas. Except that I can't read Korean and I'm not a technical person, regards to editing and stuff. 😑😑

Good luck to everyone who decides to apply!

Oh, I would love to apply for this. If only I spoke Korean and if only I didn't promise my husband I would stop applying for jobs. I already have one 9-5, one after hours and one weekend job and but I'm pretty sure I could fit another one in.

When the job description fits you and what you want perfectly, but your only Korean skills are knowing the alphabet.

What if I said I would go to Korean language bootcamp?

If only this Korean drama website didn't need people who speak Korean...

Too bad I'm such a terrible fit for the requirements...

No Korean.
No editorial experience.
No writing experience (except Cobol, but I don't think that's what they want).
No comment on my people/organizational/leadership skills.
Etc, etc.

But I do have the interest and some spare time, and I'd be happy do some volunteer/unpaid stuff if they need anything I'm qualified for.

While we bemoan our lack of Korean, read about some people who know so many languages that it will make you sick.

"Maltese for Beginners"

Unfortunately my Korean is limited to the handful of words I have picked up from watching the dramas

Sadly the only Korean word I'm confident to say/ write/ know is 야!

I am excited to welcome whoever gets the job! Also, brb, I really need to learn Korean now. Haha!

I have done cameos as a backpack, a toothbrush, and a belt, and put in some serious acting skills as The Wind in That Winter The Wind Blows. I don't speak or write Korean, because I don't speak much in my cameos, beyond the occasional grunt or squeak. Do I qualify?

Darn. Darn. Darn. Good luck DB team! (sniff)

Wow I can't believe that I actually know someone who has those skills. The problem would be enticing them/her to be interested in it. Their plate is already so full.

And hah, I am snarky about the editing style. It is actually so hard. And I laugh thinking of some people who think it is so easy just because English is their first language.

Darn there is another person I know who fits this as well except she doesn't have 5yrs+ writing experience.

Damn how much Kdramas do I watch that I even know people like that? Good luck to all the applicants. Korean is harder than I thought the more I get into it especially when translating it into English correctly in the drama sense. I laugh at myself when I read Korean children's books to my kids these days.

The DB team is amazing, but I'm glad it is reaching out for help in order to make this special site even more amazing. Fighting!💪

Reading fisrt 5 paras i was so happy but the moement i read First Have as high proficiency in Korean.. i crashed down to earth knowing only korean knowledge i have is knowing vowels and consonents.... so i dont even fit the bill remotely...
and all the very best to everyone who decides to apply....

I almost have the Korean skills I think but none of the other qualifications ::deep sigh:: Does anyone want to do a mind meld lol

I have recently taken up formal Korean lessons, so hopefully someday (in the far future), I will qualify !

After years of Kdrama watching, I realize I need some ROI from my time invested in this hobby. The solution is to learn up the language properly! My current goals are:
1) to watch a drama without subtitles
2) read a Korean novel
3) visit Korea and converse in Korean

So now, every hour spent on drama watching also goes to achieving my goals ! Isn't this great ?

Anyway, any Kdrama fans like me, looking to improve Korean, I recommend the website talktomeinkorean. I find the audio lessons very good with explanation and usage, from simple to advance levels. I also join a local Korean class, so that I can practice coversing in Korean with teacher and fellow students.

I would vote for my girls @bammsie and @sicarius!! Bams you know Korean right??? Sica, you can learn it in a week right??? 😃

Lmao I pretty much have all of these requirements except for the Korean proficiency and deep knowledge of Korean entertainment part.

Used to be a staff writer and junior editor for a culture/entertainment magazine. Also have PR and production experience.

Well, if you ever need someone that has American entertainment experience holla at me lol.

Good luck DB in finding the newest minion. Applicants- Hwaiting!

I think I'm totally unqualified in nearly all aspects 😁 ... I'm just using this to ask whether it would be possible to post something about what's happening with Dramabeans this year? Short notice, podcast, vlog... whatever your time and mood allows? I have been with you for nearly 10 years and the sudden disappearance of the main recappers scared me greatly... and as a seasoned kdrama watcher I already see Javabeans bedridden with some terrible disease, Girlfriday in prison as a victim of some evil plotting trying to get Dramabeans down and, worst of all, Heads meeting the Truck of Doom 😱 😉 😁. So please, let this scaredy catish overprotective mom know that you are all fine.... working on your book (as geeenious writers)... or doing your second PhD (as geeenious students)... or spending a sabatical at Jeju or Seoul (as geeenious kdrama watchers... or idol stalkers 😁)... . Love you all and wish you good luck with whatever you do currently.

High efficiency in Korean, can't v do without it, was so badly wanted to be a part of drama beans team, hope to get any other openings, fingers crossed

I cannot wait to see what Dramabeans is going to become with this new team member !

Thank you to whoever will apply !
