## Single source of truth

Fact fields on listing pages originate from the Korea Tourism Organization
TourAPI. The site does not invent or rewrite those fields. Operator guides
and visit notes are a separate interpretation layer at /guide, /notes,
/journal, and /eats.
Ended seasons we cover may have a thin /archive year page of official
fields as-of the freeze. Notes attach to internal entity IDs; TourAPI
contentid is a join key only.
Data is refreshed periodically; errors reported via Contact are
cross-checked against the upstream source and propagated after correction
there.
