About me

Katie Doan is a multimedia storyteller, specializing in long-form written works and short documentary films. In 2022, she graduated from California State University - Fullerton with a Bachelor’s in Broadcast Journalism.

Katie was the founder of FYBIG-BANG, a blog that provided updates on the K-Pop band, BIGBANG from 2014 to 2017 with 25,000 followers at its peak. She has also created fan culture documentaries such as “We MADE It” in 2016 and “Permission to Reunite” in 2021. Her bylines include The Daily Titan, OC News, WAVES Magazine and K-Pop Concerts as contributing writer, editor, and producer.

She is not confined to a specific topic; rather, her main focus is always the people, especially in marginalized communities. Her goals in media are to challenge the status quo and create riveting and personal connections to the work she publishes to a broader general audience. Her motto has always been, “If no one else does it, I’ll do it myself.”

When she’s not working, she enjoys spending time at art museums, traveling to magical places, eating the best food the world has to offer, watching her favorite artists up close and personal, and watching endless BTS content.
