The goal of this homepage is to provide you accurate and factual details about Korea so that you may refer to the errors handled in this web site for your next article. After thorough research on various types of publications, our team have found out that Korea has and had been poorly described (at least for more than 20 years) in almost all of publications we have examined. Even the most recently published textbooks and guidebooks that describe Korea has wrongly covered facts on Korea and some even offensively degraded Korea with no good reason.

We are not scholars with a fancy degree but it came to mind that if we were to provide accurate information to authors and publishers worldwide who write articles about Korea, then Korea would be much more well-known to world citizens and your books would be read more.

If so, how could you use this web site? You may see two main categories, “Errors in Publications” and “Error Types” on the top. “Errors in Publications” provide various types of publications that had stated Korea with erroneous descriptions. On “Error Types” you may check out various features of Korea that has been wrongly written in those publications. For example, if you were to find errors about Korean food Kimchi, check out ‘Error Types → Food’ category, look for kimchi, and you will be able to find Kimchi description error in AP Human Geography. You are also able to search for the same result if you click on ‘Errors in Publications → AP textbooks.’

If you click the example link above, you may see the detailed page. On the top shows the cover page of a publication with errors in detail. You are also able to click on the original image of the wrong description on Korea. Underneath explains why the content is wrong. We also provide how the wrong description could be re-written within the context. The detailed page also specifies most of the publication information, including the Full title, Publisher, Author(if stated specifically), ISBN code, and page number. In case the erroneous content is unclear or controversial, a disclaimer is also provided. If you have any opinion regarding the detail, you may leave a comment at the bottom.

You may be someone who work with the publishing company that one’s erroneous description might already had been posted on this web site. Yes, we do know that there might be other opinions about Korea. That’s why we have added the disclaimer and comment sections so that we can have a chance to understand about the differences in interest or interpretation of an event or specific content regarding Korea.

For your reference, after receiving a letter of content revision request, the senior editor of Princeton Review that wrote the above Kimchi description error on its AP Human Geography apologized and promised a thorough cultural accuracy check to ensure that such errors are not present in other sections as well in future publications. However, as you may already know, editing a publication is not an easy process, and it takes a lot of time for the revised and corrected material to be published again. Checking process for republished books is a totally new task!

Once again, we hope this web site will be a reference for your next publication. After visiting our homepage, if you have been searching for new subjects on Korea, why don’t you look back on what had been described on your books and find out if they are right or wrong? We wish you gain accuracy in your future articles after using this web site, and hope you do your best in writing articles about Korea. Thank you for visiting our web site, and we hope you to join our dreams of telling the world about Korea with more accuracy.
