Jazmine

Writer
Specialties

When she was a 5th grader, Jazmine’s preference when it comes to TV shows was a bit different from what kids that age usually watch. She was hooked on Korean dramas and stayed up late watching these series. In 2009, as she was browsing through music channels, she came upon a Kpop music video and just like magic, she instantly became addicted. Not so long after, she started watching Korean variety shows and loved all things Korean. When she’s not fangirling about her oppas and unnies, she spends her time as a researcher at a publishing company.
