What is WooskiWrites?

Hello! I wrote in detail about this Substack on my first post, so here's a tl;dr below.

Who am I?

I’m Wooseok Ki, a music & entertainment attorney in NYC and published author on a best-selling K-pop book. In social/casual circles I often go by Wooski, combining my first and last names.

I was fortunate to live in cities around the world (NYC, SF, Seoul, Hong Kong, Philly, DC to name a few) and have worked in legal, tech, music, and gaming industries. My experiences have broadened my outlook on social relationships and cross-cultural exchange.

Also one of the 4 guys in a viral BTS wedding dance video.

What topics will this cover?

Here are some of the topics that inspire me to write:

• Technology making our lives easier

• K-pop & the globalization of K-content generally

• Transmedia storytelling (i.e. video games —> TV/film)

• Legal topics in technology, media and entertainment

• Asian/AAPI representation in media & pop culture

• Career development, professionalism, and mentorship

Essentially - an intersection of media, culture, and tech written from a socio-legal angle by a Korean-American.

What led me here?

I’ve been writing regularly on LinkedIn for the past few years, and in turn connected with a lot of professionals worldwide that share similar interests. I realized that there’s a limit to how much I can write on a simple LinkedIn post, and it didn’t seem like the appropriate platform to regularly churn out longer pieces of writing.

If my writing inspires someone to write or just learn something new, I’d be pretty content.
