Can’t keep up with AI? Watch these instead of doomscrolling
Here are the AI courses worth your time to make your skillsets hireable in Korea's job market.
If you're job-hunting in Korea right now, you already feel it. Every posting wants someone who "uses AI." Every social media post says you're behind.
I went looking for the channels that actually teach something and I’ve also personally watched them myself. Here's the shortlist, sorted by what you're trying to become.
A note: some of them are Korean-language channels. If you can follow AI content in Korean, you're showing an employer two skills at once, and that's exactly the kind of edge you want to develop anyway in 2026.
If you want to learn AI marketing
Marketing roles in Korea are some of the quickest to change and add AI tool skill proficiency to the job description.
- Sabri Suby: English, direct-response and sales-driven marketing.
- 이상한마케팅: Korean-language, practical marketing built around real campaigns in Korea
- 곽팀장: Korean-language, marketing from a team-lead's point of view.
- Neil Patel: English, one of the most established names in digital marketing and SEO.
If you want to learn AI engineering
If you want to pivot to more AI/ML role from software engineering, here are some channels to check out:
- Sajjaad Khader: English, applied AI walkthroughs.
- Marina Wyss AI & Machine Learning: English, ML fundamentals explained without the jargon wall.
- 큰돌의터전: Korean-language, engineering and CS interview prep.
- Dave Ebbelaar: English, building real AI apps and data projects.
If you want to do agentic AI project management
Companies want people who can run projects with AI in the loop, and there's way less competition here than in engineering because things are still changing very quickly. Keep up with channels below:
- Jeff Su: English, productivity and AI workflows you can copy the same day.
- hellopm: product management fundamentals.
- nateherk: English, AI automation and agent builds.
- 홍아린AI: Korean-language, AI tools and workflows.
- jangpm: Korean-language, product management in Korean job market
How to actually use this
Watching won't get you hired. Watch enough to build one small thing, then put it on your resume as a real project.
That last step, turning what you learned into a line a Korean hiring manager will actually read, is the part most people get wrong. It's the whole reason KOVE exists.
