Effective date: August 14, 2026. This page explains how Korean Brand Guide handles affiliate links, sponsorships, gifted products, and other commercial relationships.
Current Status
As of the effective date above, Korean Brand Guide does not receive affiliate commissions from the products, retailers, marketplaces, forwarding services, or buying routes discussed in its published guides. Ordinary links are provided to help readers verify information or continue their research.
If Affiliate Links Are Added
If we introduce affiliate links in the future, we may earn a commission when a reader completes a qualifying purchase after following one of those links. This would not increase the price paid by the reader unless the retailer’s terms state otherwise.
Affiliate content will include a clear disclosure close to the relevant recommendation. We will not describe a link as independent or non-commercial when a qualifying commission may be earned.
Sponsorships and Gifted Products
Paid sponsorships, free products, travel support, discounts, or other material relationships will be labeled clearly. A commercial relationship does not guarantee positive coverage and does not give a partner control over factual conclusions.
Editorial Independence
Recommendations are based on the available evidence, official specifications, intended use, and practical reader needs. We aim to explain both advantages and limitations. For more information, read our Editorial Policy.
Brand Relationships
Korean Brand Guide is not affiliated with or endorsed by the brands discussed on this website unless a specific page clearly discloses that relationship. Brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
