Apostille Korea Recruits Legal Translation Specialist Steve Kang to Bolster Certified Translation Services
Amid the rapid growth of the certified translation market driven by expanding corporate global expansion and rising demand for overseas study and immigration, Apostille Korea, an agency specializing in international apostille services, announced that it has recruited seasoned legal translator Steve Kang.
Documents submitted to overseas institutions — such as articles of incorporation, commercial contracts, and family relation certificates — require apostille authentication, an accurate translation in the destination country’s language, and official notarial certification to verify translation reliability. With this strategic hire, Apostille Korea plans to substantially enhance the accuracy of legal and contractual documentation, which forms the core of certified translation.
Translator Steve Kang attended Auburn Academy in Washington state and graduated from La Sierra University in California. After returning to South Korea, he managed contracting and procurement operations at major conglomerates, including SK and Samsung C&T, and gained direct experience in international contracting by participating in large-scale power plant construction projects with Siemens.
Since 2002, Kang has been a veteran professional handling Korean-English and English-Korean translations for corporate contracts and legal matters for 25 years. His core strength lies in contextualizing complex legal terms — such as large-scale plant contract terms, warranty liabilities, liquidated damages, and dispute resolution clauses — into precise terminology aligned with local legal frameworks, rather than offering simple dictionary translations.
Industry experts emphasize that because a single misplaced word in articles of incorporation, board minutes, commercial agreements, or personal certificates can lead to document rejection or legal disputes, the role of a specialized translator with practical legal experience is critical.
Apostille Korea was the first company in South Korea to launch international apostille agency services and operates in tandem with Global Translation, which brings over 20 years of translation expertise. The company operates a comprehensive one-stop system covering the entire workflow: document issuance assistance, multilingual translation, notarization, apostille certification, and consular authentication.
An Apostille Korea representative stated, “Certified translation is not merely converting words into another language; it is the process of transferring the legal validity of a document. We will continue to elevate our service reliability by strictly adhering to the detailed requirements of receiving institutions, ensuring our clients’ documents are approved on the first submission without the hassle of re-preparation.”

Employment Contract Consultation Case with a Chinese Corporation Recently, a client who was preparing to work for a local corporation in China contacted us to request a Chinese translation of a Korean employment contract. The client needed the contract period, salary, working hours, leave, workplace, and termination conditions to be accurately conveyed in Chinese. Employment contracts usually contain longer sentences and carry greater legal significance than certificates of employment or payslips, making them difficult to handle through simple word-for-word translation alone. Why Accurate Employment Contract Translation Is Important An employment contract is a document that defines the rights and obligations of an employer and an employee. If the meaning of even one sentence changes, the interpretation of salary, working hours, the contract period, and termination conditions may also change. Accurate translation is important not only for contracts between Chinese companies and Ko...
