Corrections policy
Last updated 12 August 2026
We publish a lot about numbers, rules and deadlines. Some of it will be wrong. What matters is what happens next.
Our commitment
- We fix errors, we don’t quietly delete them. Articles are corrected in place, and the change is disclosed on the page.
- We move fast on anything actionable. An error in a visa requirement, a tax band, a deadline, or a figure someone might act on is corrected the same day we’re notified, wherever possible.
- We tell you what changed. Substantive corrections carry a dated note at the foot of the article describing what was wrong and what it now says.
What counts as a correction
| Type | What we do |
|---|---|
| Factual error — a wrong number, date, name, rule or attribution | Fix in place, add a dated correction note, update the dateModified. |
| Material omission — a missing caveat that changes how the piece reads | Add the caveat, add a dated note. |
| Update — the underlying fact changed (a rate moved, a rule was amended) | Update the figure and the “Updated” date. Noted in the text, not logged as a correction — the article wasn’t wrong when it published. |
| Typo or broken link — no effect on meaning | Fixed silently. |
How to report one
Email editor@futureofkorea.com with CORRECTION in the subject line. Include:
- the URL of the article
- the specific sentence or figure
- what it should say
- ideally, a link to the primary source that shows it
You don’t need to be polite about it and you don’t need to be certain. A tip that turns out to be wrong costs us five minutes; an uncorrected error costs a reader more.
Right of reply
If you are named in an article and believe it is inaccurate or unfair, write to us with LEGAL in the subject. We will review the claim against our sources and respond in writing. Where we’re wrong, we correct. Where we stand by the piece, we’ll tell you why and, where appropriate, publish your response.
Retraction
If an article’s central claim proves unsupportable, we retract it: the page stays live at its URL with the body replaced by a retraction notice explaining what went wrong. We do not silently 404 our mistakes.
