WELCOME

Welcome to the International Maknae-Hyung Association

We are a nonprofit collective dedicated to emotional wellness, cultural education, and intergenerational storytelling. Inspired by the bond between “Maknae” (youngest) and “Hyung” (eldest), our work creates soulful spaces where grief is honored, legacy is built, and creativity thrives.

Our workplace is guided by emotional safety, cultural respect, and creative autonomy. We pledge to listen deeply, publish bravely, and mentor across generations—uplifting diverse voices and healing through story.

Team members enjoy flexible schedules, mentorship opportunities, and the freedom to lead publishing and curriculum projects that matter. Our services include Kindle publishing, curriculum kits, ritual workshops, and community mentorship—all designed to transform memory into meaning and stories into soul work.
