I am a Seoul-based freelance journalist focusing on social movements, injustice, and inequality.

During my time at the Seoul National University FactCheck Center and the National Assembly of South Korea, I investigated public policy and disinformation. I hold an M.S. in journalism from Columbia University and a B.A. in sociology from Yonsei University.

Reach out to me at contact [at] gimyejin.com. I’d love to hear from you, whether you have a tip or just want to connect. I’m ready.
