Peter Yang is the founder and editor of Real-Time Korea Story, an independent English-language publication covering Korea and Korea-related stories for an international audience.
Peter brings more than 40 years of writing experience to his work as a writer, editor, and commentator. In addition to his editorial work, he serves as a Regional Director and Professor at a university.
He is also a pastor, with a particular interest in issues involving faith, religion, churches, culture, and the intersection of religion and society. His academic, professional, and writing experience gives him a broad cross-cultural perspective when examining Korea and Korea-related issues.
His coverage includes K-pop and entertainment, Korean culture, K-Beauty, society, politics, religion and faith, travel, Korean traditions, and international issues connected to Korea.
Peter’s editorial approach emphasizes accuracy, context, clear attribution, and responsible reporting. He seeks to distinguish clearly between established facts, reported claims, allegations, analysis, and opinion, particularly when covering politically, socially, or religiously sensitive subjects.
With decades of writing experience, Peter aims to go beyond simply translating or repeating headlines. His goal is to provide readers with the background, significance, and broader context behind developments in Korea so that English-speaking audiences can better understand the country and its changing role in the world.
At Real-Time Korea Story, Peter oversees the publication’s editorial direction and contributes articles and analysis across a range of Korea-related topics.
His work with Real-Time Korea Story is independent of his university-related professional responsibilities.
