Af- ter studying philosophy in Scotland, she moved to Seoul where she plays backgammon and tends to her windowsill nasturtiums. She studies traditional fermentation and is an avid brewer, from moonshine to makgeolli. She runs an urban gardening project in the center of the city and is happiest with dirt under her fingernails. Simon has freelanced and worked for a variety of newspapers and magazines including The Jerusa- lem Post, The Pink Paper, The Guardian, Internet Monthly and others. He was editor of View from the Hill magazine and comics “Lighting Dog” and “Commander Rix.” He is now based in Seoul and can be spotted around the capital, sometimes with a cap, but always a friendly smile — say hi! Jaime is from Waterloo, Ontario, and has lived in Seoul since June 2012. Her MA is in Communi- cations, but that doesn’t always translate to being able to speak coherently. When she isn’t at work, she’s busy trying to build up a tolerance to spicy food. She follows more blogs than she cares to admit. Jaime is Groove Korea’s senior copy editor. Haeryun Kang majored in German Studies at Ma- calester College, Minnesota. After graduating, she “returned” to Korea — she hadn’t lived in the country since 2001, so there wasn’t a lot to return to — and decided to try out living as a Korean. She’s still trying. She is currently living in Ulsan, and looking for jour- nalism jobs in Seoul. haeryun Kang Korea/U.S. Kyndra Love is a U.S. native who as a child loved picking berries in her backyard. After receiving her Master’s degree in Korean Studies from the Univer- sity of Hawai’i, she now works as an editor based in Seoul. She is a food enthusiast and wishes she had a green thumb.
