KBS America Internship

KBS = Korean Broadcasting System

The summer before senior year, I contacted the LA Bureau Chief of KBS America about wanting an internship. After an in-depth interview and application process, I was granted the opportunity to intern in the interview department.

Assistant Writer

Before every interview, I gathered extensive research about the interviewees to assist the writer in writing the interview scripts. I had to give brief summaries and overviews about our interviewees and what we could ask. I brainstormed specific questions that many of the interviews included.

Translator

During the actual process of the interview, I was the direct speaking translator for Korean speakers and English speakers. Since the interviews focused on showing the Korean-American experience, there were a lot of words and phrases I had to translate during the interview process.

Editor

After the interviews, I was an assistant editor during the editing process. I was given the edited video drafts so that I could add witty captions as well as translations onto the video. I also suggested which clips we should save and which ones we didn't need to keep.
