 Mongolian magazine has been launched in South Korea, marking a first for the Mongolian community living in the country. Titled “Awezome” the magazine is a joint initiative by Mongolian and Korean young professionals and has released its first issue to readers.

More than 220,000 Mongolian citizens currently live, study, and work abroad, with the largest share residing in South Korea. Against this backdrop, "Awezome" aims to introduce Korean culture and lifestyle through a Mongolian perspective while providing reliable, balanced, and practical information for Mongolians living in or planning to travel to South Korea.

The editorial team has stated that the magazine is not intended as a one-off publication, but rather as a regular periodical. Its content is based on the real-life experiences of Mongolians living and working in South Korea, with a focus on addressing their most pressing information needs.

Planned coverage includes topics such as visa regulations, education and scholarship opportunities, dormitory life, part-time employment, food culture, social norms and values in Korea, and essential preventive and safety information. According to the editorial team, the goal is to create a practical guide rooted in lived experience.

“Although Mongolians come to Korea for different reasons, they share many common needs. Based on our own experiences, we wanted to create a practical guide,” the team said. In this sense, "Awezome" is positioned as a useful handbook for those preparing to move to South Korea as well as for those already settled there, while also serving as a platform to promote mutual understanding and exchange between Mongolian and Korean youth.

The first issue includes practical guidance on what to prepare before coming to South Korea, how to maintain scholarships, and key information on visas and employment contracts. Featured interview guests include model J.Namuun, who has established a distinct presence in South Korea’s highly competitive culture, arts, and fashion industries, and professional interpreter S.Sukh-Ochir, who has lived and worked in South Korea for over 30 years. Both share their personal experiences and success stories.

In addition, the debut issue features beauty content reflecting current trends, as well as a language-learning column titled "A Korean Friend's Dairy" designed to help readers improve their Korean language skills.

"Awezome" will be published quarterly. In Seoul, it is available at the Mongolian Embassy, the Mongolian Labor and Social Welfare Service Agency, Mongol Town, and the Mongolian Language and Culture Center. It can also be purchased at the Namu Center in Ilsan and the Mongolian Development Center in Jeonju.
