Well, this is certainly a unique announcement. I've been contacted by an employee of Lezhin to pass along this job posting. So, here it is. I have also suggested the recruiter to register, so they can respond directly to any questions if arises.
DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation whatsoever with Lezhin or this recruiter. I cannot confirm or endorse anything with regarding this job post. This post is a verbatim copy of what was sent to me of the job itself. I did not include greetings, name of the recruiter, and other segments from top and bottom because I do not know if this person wants me to make that public or not. I have also stripped formatting and redid it for forum code reasons.
