Pros

You get to write about K-pop, that’s basically it.

Cons

You are severely underpaid for pushing out as many clickbait, pointless articles you possibly can in the span of eight hours. You work a full-time 40 hour work week with zero benefits, low pay, and an embarrassing portfolio to your name. Despite all of this, Koreaboo expects a “seasoned” writer to do this job, but pays what an intern would make. Unless you are at your wits end looking for a writing job, I wouldn’t suggest working for Koreaboo ever.

Pros

Great environment, lots of friendly co-workers and the team is really fun to work with.

Cons

You have to really be involved in K-Pop and spend a lot of time online, but that's the job, no real cons.

Pros

Being able to work remotely is nice. Your co-workers are mostly friendly.

Cons

Management doesn't do much outside of sending unrelated videos, sometimes suggesting content to write about, and occasionally creating a list of top-performing celebrities and article types. Management voices their frustration if your articles don't get enough views, forcing writers to only write about certain celebrities, pull controversial content from social media without any validity, and use misleading clickbait titles. You will be left alone to write your entire article from scratch while also finding images, sources, and titles, doing the editing yourself, creating the thumbnail image yourself, uploading the article, and even monitoring the analytics yourself without any guidance except for occasional criticism of a typo in a title or a call-out for a too-low viewed article. And as you're expected to write multiple articles a day, not only do you work overtime with no compensation, but the article quality suffers from the speed you have to write it.
