DISCIPLINE: FILM, writing & ADVOCACY
Writer/Producer
NYU Tisch Alum · MS Professional Writing Candidate
Janet Hyojo Oh (she/her) is a Korean American writer and producer telling stories that put Korean American characters at the center of genres that haven't always made room for them. A formative year in South Korea at twelve sparked her lifelong interest in the modern diaspora; a childhood love of Doctor Who sparked everything else. Her passion project, We Meet Again, blends warmth, humor, and the nuanced realities of Korean American life.
It started with Doctor Who
My love of storytelling began with an alien time traveler. They showed me stories of wonder, reinvention, and finding your people across impossible distances. That same spirit drives my work exploring how cultural identity shapes the way we connect.
