Seulgi Jung 정슬기
Hello! My name is Seulgi, I'm a data journalist from Seoul, South Korea. I use data and graphics to tell stories about complex, often misunderstood issues in our society. I got started writing community dispatches, authoring realtime updates on public health protocols. I'm currently living in New York City and studying at Columbia University's Graduate program in Data Journalism, graduating in summer 2026.
In my work you'll find data-driven insights on urgent questions and topics affecting South Korea, like our relationship with the North; the question of representation in our entertainment; and the way history and memory in our literature can shape the Korean future.
I'm passionate about the current issues affecting all communities in South Korea and beyond. I'm drawn to issues which too often remain lost in the shadows. Please contact me at seulgi.jung1109@gmail.com for assignments, appearances, or just to chat!
