Sample output · 이력서 + 자기소개서 + English CV + cover letter
Three steps.
From a Korea job posting + your existing CV to a tailored application package, in the language and format the job actually asks for.
Step 1
Paste the job posting and upload your CV
Drop in the listing from Saramin, JobKorea, Wanted, LinkedIn, or any company career page, plus your existing CV. We work from English, Korean, or both. If you already have an 이력서 or 자기소개서, upload those too. The job posting is the input that turns a generic resume into a tailored one.
Step 2
Your application, tailored to that specific job
If the posting is in Korean, we pull the company's real 자기소개서 prompts (성장과정, 지원동기, 직무역량, 입사 후 포부) and draft answers in formal Korean (격식체), then reformat your 이력서 with photo placement, visa line, TOPIK / OPIc, and GPA on its proper scale. If the posting is in English (외국계, multinationals, English-speaking startups like Toss, LINE Plus, Coupang Eats), we tailor an English ATS-format CV and cover letter to the role description, the company, and Korea-specific recruiter conventions including the visa-status line.
Step 3
Download in the formats Korean recruiters actually accept
HWP for large Korean companies (대기업) and public institution portals that require it. DOCX for everywhere else. ATS-friendly PDF for 외국계 firms and English-medium roles. One package, every format the job actually needs.
What you'll get back.
One paste of the job posting. A complete application package, in the language and format that role actually asks for.
Korean cover letter (자기소개서) tailored to the actual job
Most Korean cover letter tools generate a generic essay. We pull the real prompts from the job posting, like formative experiences (성장과정), motivation (지원동기), aspirations after joining (입사 후 포부), or whatever else that company asks, and draft answers in proper formal Korean (격식체), using your CV's specific experiences as the source.
HWP, DOCX, and ATS-friendly PDF export
Many large Korean companies (대기업) and public institution applications still require Hangul Word Processor (.hwp). No global resume tool produces HWP. We do, plus DOCX for portals that prefer it, and a clean ATS-friendly PDF for 외국계 firms that scan with Workday, Greenhouse, or Lever. Editable formats, not flattened PDFs.
English CV and cover letter, or both languages side by side
Many Korea jobs that target foreigners want an English CV, not a Korean 이력서: foreign-affiliated firms (외국계), multinationals, English-speaking startups like Toss, LINE Plus, Coupang Eats. We tailor an ATS-friendly English CV and one-page cover letter to that specific role, with Korea-specific recruiter conventions baked in (visa-status line, Korean education and credential formatting, OPIc / TOEIC scores). When a posting asks for both, you get parallel English and Korean documents from a single source of truth.
Also includes: Korean 이력서 reformatted to recruiter-expected layout (photo placement, visa line, TOPIK / OPIc / GPA-on-its-scale) · 격식체 + 띄어쓰기 check before export · 35×45mm 이력서 photo cropped from your headshot.

Common questions
Why does the job posting matter?
The Korean cover letter (자기소개서) is not one document. Different Korean companies ask different prompts: formative experiences (성장과정), motivation (지원동기), job competency (직무역량), aspirations after joining (입사 후 포부), sometimes more. A generic 자기소개서 answers prompts the job ad never asked, which is why it reads as off. We pull the actual prompts from the listing you're applying to and answer those, with your CV as the source material.
What if I don't have a specific job posting yet?
You can still generate a baseline Korean resume (이력서) and a generic Korean cover letter (자기소개서) to one of the four standard prompts. Re-run it with the job posting once you find the role you want, and we re-tailor the 자기소개서 in seconds.
I already have a CV (English or Korean). Can I just get it tailored?
Yes. Upload whatever you have, English CV, Korean 이력서, Korean 자기소개서, or any combination. If the job posting is in Korean, we tailor the 자기소개서 to the company's actual prompts, reformat the 이력서 to spec, and run 격식체 and 띄어쓰기 checks. If the posting is in English, we tailor an English ATS-format CV and cover letter to the role, with Korea-specific recruiter conventions baked in. You don't need to bring both languages, just whatever you have.
How do you decide which language to output in?
We read the job posting's language and the company type. A Korean-language posting at a domestic Korean company gets a Korean 이력서 + 자기소개서 in formal Korean (격식체). An English-language posting at a foreign-affiliated firm (외국계), multinational, or English-speaking startup (Toss, LINE Plus, Coupang Eats) gets an English ATS-format CV and cover letter. When a posting explicitly asks for both, you get both in parallel. You can override the choice in the tool if you want.
Why HWP, not just PDF?
Many large Korean companies (대기업) and public institution portals (and a surprising number of mid-size Korean HR teams) still require Hangul Word Processor (.hwp) files. PDF and DOCX get rejected at upload. No global resume tool produces HWP. We do.
Can't I just feed the job posting to ChatGPT?
You can, and the output will read as off in both directions. For Korean-language jobs, generic AI tools don't know real 자기소개서 prompt structures (성장과정, 지원동기, 직무역량, 입사 후 포부), can't enforce formal Korean (격식체) or word spacing (띄어쓰기), don't produce HWP files, and miss Korean 이력서 conventions like the 35×45mm photo and TOPIK / OPIc / GPA-on-its-scale fields. For English-language Korea jobs, generic tools miss the visa-status line, mishandle Korean education and credential formatting, and don't know which 외국계 firms scan with which ATS. We've built Korea-specific rules around the AI for both directions.
Is this AI? Will it sound like AI slop?
Yes, AI does the heavy lifting on the rewrite. The difference from generic AI tools is the Korea-specific rules we've built around it: real 자기소개서 prompt structures pulled from actual Korean job ads, formal Korean (격식체) enforcement, fields Korean recruiters expect on an 이력서, GPA scale and visa-status conventions, HWP file output, and on the English side, Korea-specific ATS formatting and 외국계 recruiter conventions. We also check formality and spacing before export, so the Korean output reads like a Korean applicant wrote it, and the English output reads like a Korea-savvy applicant wrote it.
What if the job is in English? Will the output match what Korean recruiters expect?
Yes. English-language Korea jobs (외국계, multinationals, Toss, LINE Plus, Coupang Eats) read CVs differently than US or UK firms do. We bake in the conventions Korean-based English-medium recruiters look for: visa-status line up top, Korean education and credentials formatted so they parse correctly, OPIc / TOEIC scores when relevant, and an ATS-friendly structure that survives Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever scans.
My Korean is not great. Will the Korean output sound natural?
Yes. When the job is in Korean, the rewrite happens in Korean from the start, not word-by-word from English. The default reads naturally to Korean recruiters, and you can tweak tone before export.
What if my visa does not let me work freely yet?
Your visa status appears on the Korean resume (이력서) so recruiters know upfront. If you're still figuring out your visa path, the visa finder is free.
How much will it cost?
Final pricing locks at launch. Everyone on the waitlist gets 50% off whatever the public price ends up being, locked in at signup. For comparison, a single human Korean cover letter editing session (자소서 첨삭) typically runs ₩50,000 to ₩100,000 on Kmong, and Korea Pro will be a small fraction of that.
When does it launch?
Within four weeks of you joining the early access list. Everyone on the list gets the early-bird discount locked in.
Why both pay-per-CV and subscription?
Job search is two different things to two different people. If you're applying to one or two Korean companies, pay per CV and ship it. If you're applying to twenty companies in a semester, the unlimited monthly is built for you. We're keeping both.
