Editorial & Fact-Check Policy

Fact layer: dates, address, phone, official overview, and official photos on festival and place pages come from the Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI. We do not create or rewrite those fact fields.

Interpretation layer: /guide, /notes, /journal, and /eats are first-person writing, labeled separately. They hang on our internal entity IDs; TourAPI contentid is a join key only. We do not expand TourAPI prose to look original, and we do not print the same disclaimer paragraphs as if they were a visit. If a deal page later carries a paid link, this policy and the affiliate disclosure will say so first.

Archive layer: only seasons past the 14-day grace (or human-confirmed) are frozen at /archive/{type}/{slug}/{year} with a field whitelist. We do not index the live numeric URL and the archive year for the same season.

Fact-layer listings are re-read from the Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI as that source updates. Guide copy changes only when we edit it.

When an organizer changes or cancels an event, that information is reflected on this site automatically after it lands in the official source. Urgent cancellations are fast-tracked when reported by users.

• Festival name, dates, address, phone: TourAPI source values. We do not rewrite fact fields

• Official overview and official photos: shown only when present. We do not LLM-expand overviews

• Guides and visit notes: operator-written interpretation only. No star ratings or UGC scores

• Statistics (monthly/regional distribution): computed directly from source data, never estimated

Report fact-field errors via the Contact page. We check them against TourAPI; once the source is corrected, the listing updates. Guide errors are edited by us. Initial response within 3-5 business days.

Advertising (such as Google AdSense) is visually distinguished from festival listings, and ad revenue never influences ranking or visibility. Festival ordering follows schedule-based automated logic only.

When this policy changes, the date on this page is refreshed. Originally published: 2026-06-19. Revised for the two-layer contract: 2026-09-05.
