Editorial principles

Korea, Clearly is an independent project about technology, industry, cities, transport, culture, travel and everyday life in Korea. We do not exaggerate our access or experience, and we distinguish facts, interpretation and recommendations. Korean drafts are the basis for the site; foreign-language editions aim for natural context rather than word-for-word substitution.

Sources and corrections

For statistics, rules, transport, safety and prices that can change, we prefer government, public, operating or primary sources. We link key references and disclose meaningful updates when an error or important change is found. Readers can report wrong or outdated information, and personal experiences are not presented as universal facts.

Image policy

We use real photographs only after checking that reuse is permitted and recording the source, creator, licence and whether the image was modified. Images with unclear permission are not used. AI-generated images are labelled clearly and are not used to present historical events, places or people as documentary records.

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Google AdSense code is installed. Ad display depends on Google approval, availability and applicable consent; installation does not mean approval. Affiliate links, when used, are disclosed near the link. Third-party booking and payment terms apply.

Privacy policy

We use Google Analytics 4 and have integrated Google AdSense. Google and its partners may process IP addresses, device/browser information, usage data and identifiers for analytics, ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention, subject to applicable settings and consent. We do not sell visitor information. Contact us for privacy enquiries.

Cookies and analytics consent

Analytics storage requires the visitor’s choice, saved as kc-analytics-consent. The analytics choice is not advertising consent. Google advertising technologies may use cookies or identifiers; where required, advertising consent must be obtained separately. Browser controls and Google Ads Settings can manage cookies and ad preferences.

Accountability and contact

Korea, Clearly does not claim affiliation with a government agency, tourism board, transport operator, accommodation provider or brand. For corrections, image-source or licence questions, and privacy requests, use the public email on the Contact page.
