Character Media
VerifiedMagazine
Formerly known as Kore Asian Media, Character Media reports on the latest in Asian American culture, entertainment and news. We recently changed our name to Character to reflect the entire Asian diaspora. “Characters” are people in movies, films and books. “Character” is a symbol in an Asian language. And “character” is the quality that makes each human unique. We are Character Media.
The Asian American community is diverse and creative. Character Media celebrates, curates and analyzes this rich trove of stories. Our videos and articles engage viewers with influencers who are making a difference. Our events such as the star-studded Unforgettable Gala and Pro-Am golf tournament highlight and empower the various characters that comprise our growing community.
Now supported by parent company London Trust Media, Character traces its roots back to 1990, when publisher James Ryu launched a print operation that grew into two publications: the award-winning KoreAm Journal and Audrey Magazine. Source
