Editorial Standards
1. Facts First
All figures, dates, and policy details are verified against primary sources before publication. Primary sources include official government press releases, Bank of Korea and FSS (Financial Supervisory Service) statistical releases, DART filings, and court auction data. News reports are used only as supplementary reference. Figures without a confirmed primary source are either labeled “source unverified” or withheld from publication.
2. Reference Dates on All Data
When citing variable data — rates, FX rates, prices — a reference date is always stated. Example: “Bank of Korea base rate 2.75%, as of April 10, 2025.” Vague language such as “current” or “recent” without a date is not used.
3. No Exaggeration
Credentials or awards that do not exist are never claimed. Return rates and outcomes are not inflated. Definitive expressions such as “guaranteed returns” or “100% safe” are not used. Analysis is presented, but investment outcomes are not warranted and no specific conclusion is imposed on the reader.
4. AI Usage Policy
AI tools are used for material organization, draft structuring, and proofreading. All figures and conclusions are verified against primary sources and approved by the editor before publication. AI-generated outputs are never posted without human verification.
5. Investment & Tax Disclaimer
WealthBrief content is general commentary for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice or solicitation for any specific financial product. For tax and legal matters, readers are advised to consult qualified professionals.
