MENT Magazine publishes critical and creative work that engages with Korean media forms through a variety of cultural, social, and political perspectives.

We welcome pieces that pursue your own current interests, curiosities, or passions within Korean popular culture and ask that you do so in a way that articulates the stakes of those interests to a broader readership who cares about contemporary cultural criticism.

We’re still working out our funding sources in order to establish more consistent rates. Currently for the second issue, rate will be $100 for each essay.
