Editorial Policy

Each KR Guide Info article should help a visitor complete a specific decision or task in South Korea. This policy explains what we check and how we separate fact, analysis and direct observation.

Start with the reader’s question

A price comparison needs prices and conditions. A route guide needs a usable route. A how-to needs a sequence the reader can follow. We do not treat article length, a fixed list of headings or publication frequency as evidence of quality.

Use sources that support the actual claim

For changing rules, fares and timetables, we look for the responsible operator or authority’s detailed page. A tourism homepage is a starting point for research, not proof of an individual refund rule. When sources disagree, the article should identify the disagreement and explain what remains unresolved.

Label evidence accurately

  • Documentation checked: we read the cited source on the stated date.
  • Calculated example: we show the inputs and arithmetic; the result is not a guaranteed quote or survey.
  • Interface tested: we describe the task, date and interface used. A desktop-web result does not establish how every mobile version behaves.
  • Visited or purchased: we use those descriptions only when a real visit or completed transaction is documented.

Review before publishing

The site owner controls publication. Review checks include whether the title’s question is answered, important claims have support, comparisons use compatible conditions, links lead to the intended pages, tables are readable, and images have an appropriate source and purpose. Unresolved essential facts should narrow the article’s scope rather than be replaced with generic advice.

AI-assisted work

Digital and AI tools may help with research organization, drafts, calculations, formatting and checks. They are not treated as primary sources. We do not invent experience, quotations, test results, prices, opening hours or author credentials. Source review and the final publication decision remain part of the editorial process.

Updates and corrections

A verification date applies to the checks described in that article. It does not guarantee every future departure or transaction. Dates are changed when the relevant checks are repeated, not merely to make a page look fresh. Corrections that affect an arrival, payment, booking or retrieval deadline take priority.

Report an issue with the article URL, the disputed instruction and a source or observed date if available. Related guides are checked when a correction affects the same underlying rule.

Advertising and affiliate independence

Advertising and affiliate relationships do not determine a factual conclusion. Paid links are disclosed and marked appropriately. Official-source references are not replaced with affiliate destinations. We do not present sponsored placement as a completed independent product test.

Changing or combining guides

When two articles answer the same question, we review their distinct information and existing search traffic before combining them. Useful URLs and links are preserved where possible. Removing a weak page is not a substitute for completing the stronger guide that remains.
