KoreaBANG is 2 Years Old!

korea-second-birthday-koreabang

Today is our second birthday, and this is our 436th post!

In the past year, we have published 136 articles of raw, unreported, Korean news, always available for free.

1.3 million people visited us to see what this perverted Korean teacher did in the hallway, how honeypot gangs can rob you blind, why South Korea still lags behind in gender equality, and yes, how much weirder plastic surgery can get.

There are oceans of news in Korea that never make it out of the country, and it is our mission to change that. That’s why we have named February 28th, koreaBANG’s birthday, “Kiss a Translator Day”*. Because without the men and women around the world who have a passion for wading through Ilbe forums and the darkest reaches of Naver news, we wouldn’t have a site and you wouldn’t have a BANG.

In no particular order, I present our amazing team and some of their top stories:
