Min Joo Lee is a scholar and cultural critic whose work centers on Asian American studies, media studies, and popular culture, with a particular focus on Korean television and transnational fandom. She is known for analyzing how race, gender, and romance are constructed and circulated through global entertainment industries. Lee is the author of *Finding Mr. Perfect: K-Drama, Pop Culture, Romance, and Race*, published by Rutgers University Press in 2025, which examines the global rise of Korean dramas and their role in shaping ideas about desirability, intimacy, and racial identity. Her research situates K-drama within broader histories of migration, diaspora, and media representation, contributing to conversations in ethnic studies, feminist theory, and cultural studies.
