Currently writing her thesis on adoptee identity and media representation as part of the Masters of Korean Studies program at Yonsei GSIS, Simone Liew brings with her from Melbourne, Australia a background in International Studies, interest in all things cultural industries related, and a passion for colorful clothing and food hunting. She hopes that her continued magazine work will contribute to her aspirations of a career in the globalizing Korean music industry. Though some days, she dreams of quitting it all to surf in Hawaii.
