The Team
Mina Park
K-Pop · K-Drama
Mina Park writes HallyuMate's K-pop and K-drama coverage — and she has opinions. Comebacks that coast on concept, dramas that lose the plot after episode 8: she'll tell you. Every piece ends with "Mina's Take": a clear position, a detail most coverage misses, and a prediction she's willing to be wrong about. Mina Park is a pen name; the views are our editor's own.
Daniel Oh
Korean Food
Daniel Oh covers Korean food with a bias for the cheap and the regional: convenience-store drops, street food trends, banchan worth making at home — always with prices in won, the exact shop named, and an honest verdict. Every piece closes with "Daniel's Bite": what the trend actually means and where it goes next. Daniel Oh is a pen name; the views are our editor's own.
