2. Independence and Fairness

KTG does not represent the position of any specific political party, government agency, company, organization, or individual.

Our editorial process is operated independently from external political or commercial pressure, and our content is produced based on facts and verifiable information.

KTG strives to reflect diverse perspectives and relevant context so that readers can form their own informed judgments.

3. Accuracy and Reliability

KTG produces content based on reliable sources, including official announcements, public data, statistics, academic research, credible news reports, expert interviews, and verifiable information.

We make reasonable efforts to verify information before publication and clearly distinguish facts from opinion, analysis, or interpretation.

4. Global Context in Reporting

KTG goes beyond simple reporting of facts by explaining how Korean issues relate to the wider international community.

We analyze major developments in politics, economy, industry, technology, and culture from a global perspective, examining both how Korea influences the world and how global changes shape Korea.

Through this approach, KTG aims to help readers understand important issues from a broader and more meaningful perspective.

5. Transparency

KTG works to ensure that readers can clearly understand the nature and purpose of the content they read.

Advertising, sponsorship, branded collaboration, or paid promotional content may be identified separately from general editorial articles so that readers are not misled.

6. Corrections and Updates

If an error is found or confirmed in published content, KTG will review and correct it as promptly as possible.

When a significant factual correction is required, we will update the content in an appropriate manner so that readers can access accurate information.

7. Respect for Sources and Copyright

When citing or referring to external materials, KTG complies with applicable laws and copyright regulations.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and provide appropriate attribution when necessary.

KTG does not support unauthorized reproduction, republication, or copyright infringement and is committed to responsible content production.

8. Use of Artificial Intelligence

KTG may use artificial intelligence technologies as part of the content production process.

AI may be used for translation, research support, information organization, analysis assistance, or workflow efficiency. However, final editorial review, judgment, and publication decisions are made by human editors.

KTG remains responsible for the accuracy, quality, and integrity of its published content.

9. Our Promise to Readers

KTG considers reader trust to be one of its most important values.
