Bae has published works on global video gaming culture and esports, with a focus on South Korea, in anthologies such as Media Technologies for Work and Play in East Asia; she has also published research on the advent of South Korean webcomics. Bae has a forthcoming article on colonial Korean filmmakers in the Journal of Japanese and Korean Cinema.
