KoreAm, or KoreAm Journal, was a monthly print magazine published from 1990 to December 2015.[1][2][3] It was dedicated to news, commentary, politics, lifestyle and culture published in the United States.[4] It was the oldest and most widely circulated English-language monthly magazine for the Asian American community. The magazine has featured prominent Asian American leaders, politicians, artists, entertainers, athletes and entrepreneurs. It also covered current events related to North Korea, South Korea, Asian Americans, immigrants and communities of color.

In 2018, the publication relaunched as KORE magazine.[5] In April 2019, KORE rebranded as Character Media.[6]
