Dr Loli Kim is a British multimodal semanticist, pragmatist, semiotician based within Asian Studies, award winning academic author, and most recently New Fiction author of Korean magical realism under the representation of Morwenna Loughman at The BKS Agency in London, England.

Kim's academic contributions span the methodological and theoretical of multimodal translation,[1][2][3][4][5][6] with a focus on the developed of formal, semantic methodologies for doing so in systematic ways with the goal of revealing what's lost in the translation that occurs in all forms of interpretation and providing a means for researchers to analyse modalities cross-culturally without marginalising the subject in the process of doing so.

As Kim explained in her interview with Korean national newspaper, the Korea Times, "If you do not have the linguistic or cultural knowledge needed to understand something, it is simply rendered invisible. I find this fascinating. It is an issue that has plagued translation studies, cultural studies, film studies, and yet little has been done to unravel this invisibility and bring about visibility. I was keen to be involved in research that does so ― in explaining the meaning-making systems at work in Korean films and developing analytical methods for film researchers to analyze Korean films."[7]

The protégé of celebrated Korean linguist Jieun Kiaer, who holds the position of Young Bin-Min KF Professor of Korean Linguistics at the University of Oxford, Kim is currently conducting research with her long-time mentor as Postdoctoral Researcher on the language and folklore of the haenyo (해녀) 'sea women' (the Korean free divers of Jeju, South Korea) on the Leverhulme Grant 'Sea, Song, and Survival: The Language and Folklore of the Haenyeo[8] at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford.

In 2023, Kim won the Hendrick Hamel prize with Jieun Kiaer on their co-authored monograph 'Understanding Korean Film: A Cross-Cultural Perspective.[9][10]
