MENT is run by a small group of volunteers who are passionate about Korean media and dedicated to the stories and communities that K-media makes possible. Please consider supporting our work and help us uphold our commitment to paying our contributors.
Fundraising Drive (December 2024)
MENT has big plans for 2025, but we can’t do it without your support.
Our goal is to raise at least $1,500 to fund the next issue.
Your donation will help us:
Pay our contributors: We are committed to compensating our talented writers and artists who bring you original, insightful content.
Maintain our website: Keeping our platform running smoothly so that you can enjoy the latest essays and critiques.
In the longer run, your donation will also help us publish print issues and create other relevant programming like screenings and symposia.
Donate & Win A Signed ATEEZ Album
To show our appreciation for your contribution, every donation enters you into a raffle to win an ATEEZ Golden Hour: Part. 2 album signed by San. Donate $25 or more, and you will earn two extra raffle entries.
We Want To Hear From You
When you donate, tell us about your favorite K-pop music, group, or K-drama! Whether it’s an obsession with TWICE, a love for Stray Kids, or the 35th time you’re watching Lovely Runner, we’d love to know what keeps you coming back for more Korean pop culture.
You can choose one of the themed donation tiers below to celebrate a particular group or show (and try guessing the $ references associated with each category while you’re at it). You can also write in your own amount along with your favorite idol, song, or show in the “Your Message” field on the Ko-Fi widget. We’ll tally and share the results periodically
K-Pop Themed Donations
K-Drama Themed Donations
Every dollar helps us get closer to our $1,500 goal, and no donation is too small. Whether you give $2 or $25, you’re playing a crucial part in keeping thoughtful discourse on Korean pop culture alive in the digital space.
Thank you for your support!
