About bitesizekorea
The English edition of bitesizekorea is a Korea information site made by Koreans living in Korea. We write about what visitors actually need: entry rules and trip prep, getting around, the apps that work here, neighborhoods, shopping, beauty and K-culture.
The main writer is Sang, an office worker (finance) in Seoul. Rules, prices and shop details in Korea change faster than you would expect. Because we read the news and official notices in Korean, we try to bring you the newest, most accurate version in English.
How we write and check facts
- Official sources first.We check notices from government agencies, airports, transit operators and the companies involved, and link them in the "Sources" list at the end of each article.
- Every article shows a check date.Facts that change easily, such as prices, opening hours and entry rules, always come with the date we checked them.
- Our own diagrams and tables.Steps, price comparisons and locations are explained with diagrams and tables made by the editorial team.
- No guessing.If we could not confirm something, we do not present it as fact, and we say so.
- No made-up experiences.We never write "we tried it" unless we did. When we checked something online, we say how and when.
