Lezhin Comics is looking for freelance Korean-English translators!
We are looking for proficient and punctual Korean to English translators who not only have a native (or near-native) understanding of slang and colloquialisms in both languages, but also have a genuine passion for comics and story-telling.
If you’re interested in this position, please send us an English resume and cover letter (it doesn’t have to be long - tell us a little about yourself! Who are you? Why do you want to translate webtoons?), and two sample translations from two different Lezhin comics that have not been translated into English. Please make sure sample translations are of an entire episode and from two different genres. Translation samples should be sent either in an Excel sheet or a Word document with the Korean dialogue and sound effects on the left, and the English translation on the right. Applicants located in Korea are preferred, but exceptions can be made.
Due to the number of applicants, we are unable to reply to everyone, but successful applicants can expect a reply within two weeks. Applications and inquiries should be sent to [email protected]. Our rates are by word and competitive, and will be discussed after an applicant has been successfully received.
Please do not send inquiries or applications regarding employment to our social media channels.
