Posting online is scary - especially when you come in with preconceived notions of what it means to gather a following and to put work into that. We spoke with Sharon Lee, a TikToker best known for her LA recs, loving advice from her dad, and hot takes on media, about her journey into TikTok - how she hated (and still hates) influencer culture, how she positions herself to make this endeavor meaningful, and how she even deals with negative feedback from judgmental friends and getting canceled.

Part 2 coming next week!

About Sharon Lee:
Sharon Lee loves food, media, and Asian American culture. Sharon is a restaurant + media critic who shares her favorite Koreatown/LA spots as well as her takes on whatever show she’s watching (probably a reality dating show on Netflix.) Born in Memphis, Tennessee but raised to be a proud Korean American by Los Angeles, Sharon is grateful to be embraced by Koreatown. Sharon is training for the LA Marathon with Koreatown Run Club, volunteers at Bicycle Meals, and loves to have her Korean corrected by the ajumma's at various Koreatown establishments. Sharon contributes for Netflix Golden, Infatuation LA, Eater LA, Sundae School, and many more fun upcoming projects—stay tuned :)
