We can't beat every single translation agency in the world in every single niche. However, we can beat even the billion dollar a year companies by being the absolute best in the world in a very small, specific, and rare language pair: Korean to English and English to Korean.
We are a botique company specializing in Korean <-> English translations only. Absolutely ALL translations are either performed by, reviewed by and/or approved by the owner Woo J. Hwang, who is a native speaker in Korean and English with no accent in both languages:

Company Size
While we are a tiny operation as of today, we would like to share with you our early successes thus far since starting in the translation industry:
In 2022, Woo Hwang was selected as the sole translator for the official Korean edition of “Dive Into Design Patterns” by Alexander Shvets. This was a highly technical programming architecture book filled with difficult to grasp code structuring concepts, detailed diagrams, and highly technical jargon. Out of 80+ qualified applicants, the author chose Woo for his rare native fluency in both Korean and English (no accent in either) and his proven ability to handle intricate technical content with absolute precision. This project marked the beginning of his long-term collaboration with Alconost, who was selected to be the editor of the book, and remains a proud case study to present for academic-style technical translations.
Are your global campaigns converting poorly because the messaging lands flat? Or are you planning on launching a product, course or service and are worried that translation quality might be poor, basically squandering your dreams and throwing your translation budget into the sewer?
Hire the lead translator who has written dozens of legal briefs for lawyers in English, received training in copywriting and has also translated an entire digital marketing course for Udacity.
While we believe in free market competition, we worry for you because most Korean people are really bad at English, and most non Korean people never master Korean to native fluency. Even a typical Indian middle school student speaks way better English than a typical Korean college student. If you hire one of these Koreans to translate your matter, they can really mess up the job - we have seen first hand a client lose $20,000 in bad translations, having to do his translations all over again with an agency Woo was collaborating with. If you go with another translator or company, make sure you do your due dilligence. If you are considering us, we can help you do your due dilligence about Woo, just email us.
The entire company specializes in the Korean <-> English language pair only. We oftentimes turn down translations in niches that we have a less of a preference for. The company is a sole proprietorship, built around Woo Hwang, a native fluent linguist in both languages specializing in high precision translations. With a larger agency, you risk being assigned any random Korean translator. Here, you always know that Woo Hwang will guarantee that your matter will be translated perfectly.
Our owner, Woo Hwang, is responsible for making sure that your task is translated perfectly.
The two languages we focus on:
There is a huge variation in skill level in Korean < - > English translators. For that reason, there is a need to protect your translation budget by making sure that there's at least one person that's native in both languages ruthlessly weeding out bad translations:
We will niche down in this highly competitive translation environment and become the best in the world at the Korean < -> English language pair.
We will stand by the quality of ALL work that's delivered and stake our reputation on it: even if it means taking extra time to check things a few times
