Jake Levine is a poet, translator, and scholar. He has authored, translated, or cotranslated over a dozen books, including Kim Yideum’s Hysteria (Action Books 2019), which received the National Translation Award and Lucien Stryk Prize.

Susan K studied English Literature and Linguistics at the University of Toronto. After spending years teaching English and managing people who teach English, she decided to walk the cold and lonely path of a freelance translator. She completed the Literature Translation fellowship program and the Media Translation fellowship program at the Literature Translation Institute of Korea and currently works as a full-time translator of poetry, webcomics, movies, and pretty much anything that interests her. She has also received a grant from the LTI to translate Park Soran’s poetry collection, One Person’s Closed Door. She loves all animals, but especially dogs; she loves all books, but especially mystery thrillers.

He is based in Seoul and works full-time as a webtoon (online comics) translator. 

Hannah Quinn Hertzog graduated from the University of Washington with degrees in Korean, Asian languages and literature, and computer science, then went on to complete both the two-year fellowship program and the summer-long Media Translation fellowship program at the Literature Translation Institute of Korea. In 2020, she received the Grand Prize at the 51st Korea Times Modern Korean Literature Translation Awards for her translation of Kim Un-su’s short story “Jab,” as well as the LTI Korea Translation Award for Aspiring Translators for her translation of Hwang Jung-eun’s short story “Gravedig.” She currently works full-time as a software engineer in Seoul.
