Job Description

Lezhin Comics is looking for freelance Korean-English translators!

We are a Korean company focused on bringing the best webtoon content to readers around the world. We offer a variety of genres that range from action to sci-fi, BL&GL to mature, and everything in between.

We are looking for proficient and punctual Korean to English translators who not only have a native (or near-native) level of understanding of slang and colloquialisms in both languages, but also have a genuine passion for comics and storytelling. Please note you must be comfortable translating mature (19+) content, including LGBT content, to be eligible for this position. As comics including adult material (including BL) are among our most common titles, we are unable to hire translators who are uncomfortable with the possibility of taking on such works.

If you’re interested in this position, please fill out this survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KZyDyKB7wvgXew7jkbZ3w7IL6CsR-DKDesWDcwZydfs/viewform?edit_requested=true) with the following documents attached:

Resume
Cover Letter (Optional)
Two translation samples (accessed via this Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qx8jJip1e0sPTIw0_oRlF13TgTIq-1VH)
A link to the first episodes of each comic can be found within the translation templates.

Due to the high number of applicants, we are unable to reply to everyone, but successful applicants can expect a reply within two weeks. Pay ranges from 30,000 - 75,000 KRW, and will be discussed in more detail with successful applicants.

For any inquiries, please contact [email protected].

Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
