Jihee Won at AWC Technical Seminar, Manila 2026

Jihee Won is a Seoul-based Korean–English conference interpreter and bilingual MC with over nine years of experience at the highest levels of international business.

Trained at the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, she has interpreted and hosted for an exceptionally diverse roster of clients — from Porsche, Eli Lilly, and Netflix to the WHO, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Prime Minister's Secretariat.

Her work spans simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, keynote emceeing, and VIP escort — across pharmaceuticals, automotive, IT, finance, aerospace, and public diplomacy. She also lectures on medical and community interpretation at HUFS, and has trained the next generation of interpreters through the Ministry of Health's official certification programme.

She is trusted by the world's leading language service providers — TransPerfect, Lionbridge, Acolad, and Interprefy among them — for assignments where precision is the only acceptable standard.
