Mai Trang (Joo)

Hi, I’m Mai Trang. My 'creator' name is Joo.

I create content and translate stories that sit at the intersection of language, culture, and everyday life. On YouTube and social platforms, I share what literature reveals about a society beyond its surface.

As a translator, I’m building a growing collection of sample translations in Korean literature, hoping to collaborate with publishers who care about nuance and voice.

I also connect with creators, researchers, and organizations interested in literature, Korean culture, storytelling, and education.

This space gathers my work so far, a quiet record of the path I’m shaping toward a deeper study of Korean Language and Literature, and the partnerships I hope to form along the way.
