Biography

Ines Hyunju Yu is a Ph.D. student in the Media School. Her research interest lies in two areas: the media industry and video game / interactive media. She has investigated how online gameplay influences the social capital of game players, and how the characteristics of media contents influence consumer attitudes or the success of the contents themselves. Her current research focuses on how certain features of video games affect the experience of game players.

She received her M.A. degree in Media Communication and B.A. with majors in English and Studies of Glocal-Cultural Contents at Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, South Korea. She worked in Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd., one of the leading Cable TV companies in Japan, before receiving her M.A. degree.
