William Gallo / Journalist
I’m a foreign correspondent with over 15 years of experience. I’ve been based in Seoul since 2019 and have covered East Asia for more than a decade. My focus is on Korea and the wider region — everything from U.S. policy and regional diplomacy to political unrest, North Korea, and social change.
I’m open to new work, collaborations, and media interviews. Feel free to reach out.
