Would you consider Segye Ilbo to be reliable despite the publication being owned by News World Communications, who was founded by the Unification Church founder? — beetricks ~ talk · email 14:07, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello! Is the website (allaccessasia.com.au) is a reliable source? Thank you in advance! Byy2 ( talk) 13:58, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi! Is Otakukart considered a reliable source? Thank you, Bloomingbyungchan ( talk) 19:30, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding to the reliabbility of the news media, Dispatch, in Korea. ( https://www.dispatch.co.kr/) I usually use dispatch for following korean culture and latest news, and would like to know if it can be included as a reliable source? They usually reporting news by photo taking and writing news by their own reporters, not only quoting rumors on the internet.
Sorry that I'm new to this community and would like to try participating in wikipedia for proving accurate information. Any further details I can provide for counting Dispatch as reliable source? Thanks for the help! Ianmaksh ( talk) 04:30, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
@ Carlobunnie: What do you think about using Dispatch as sources in Lee Seunggi vs Hook cases? According to this report Dispatch was the winner of the 386th 'Reporter of the Month Award' in the economic report category hosted by the Journalists Association of Korea for 'Kang Jong-hyun's Bithumb... (Fake) Chairman's reality tracker'. So I read the article and the award is prestigious. While report about Lee Seunggi’s case don’t get an award, They were written by the same reporter.

Is anyone familiar with Sports Q and can attest to its reliability or lack thereof? I'm looking for a replacement source for the Kult Scene ref in the lead of Love X Stereo and this Sport Q article is the only one I've found that mentions both their debut year and the name of their debut EP. -- Carlobunnie ( talk) 01:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
While Soompi in its early years was unreliable and disorganized, I think the website should be considered a reliable source, as in the last several years they have refined their system by translating from reliable Korean news sources and even citing them at the bottom of each article for reference. Most of the reliable sources I have used for articles nowadays I've gathered from Soompi's website. However, I know that wikipedia does not like to use first party sources often and it doesn't always help when one of the few sites reporting on certain events is Soompi and they're citing a first party source (ex: Kara has announced they're coming back as a group, the source is an announcement from Kara's official social media pages.)
Its not like allkpop either where they allow users to write the articles themselves, nor do they really give much attention to rumors or gossip, and at least from the articles I've seen in the last few years, they haven't really leaned into editorials when it comes to important news. It very much runs like a professional source nowadays and I think it should be upgraded to one as such. They haven't really done much in recent years to bring their notability into question. - K-popguardian ( talk) 20:58, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
I mentioned adding this back in May 2022. Took the liberty of linking it at the top of the page today. -- Carlobunnie ( talk) 22:24, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
I leave additional suggestions here for reliable and unreliable sources for Korean websites.

Hello! Is Esquire Korea [14] considered a reliable source? Please help me, thank you! Zhglobal ( talk) 04:18, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
@ Toobigtokale Hey, I saw you added OhmyNews to the reliable sources list? OhmyNews is a website that uses user-generated content and is naturally rife with undisclosed conflicts of interest, hoaxes, and other issues ( on a Bill Gates assassination hoax and regarding loose fact checking on stories that aren't "hard news"). The 20% of articles written by staff journalists are probably fine, but I don't think we can call non-staff articles reliable. ~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 14:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
The Korean edition of Encyclopædia Britannica no longer exists that currently redirects to Britannica Education site ( https://elearn.eb.com/). Is there an Wayback Machine to find on these links per WP:Link rot? 179.49.5.119 ( talk) 06:13, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
