We count what public datasets already publish about Korean pop culture — Netflix's weekly lists, Wikipedia's daily traffic, Korea's own export statistics — name every source, and say what we left out. 249 pieces so far, across 91 data pages.
You can also write to cs@klifedesign.net with anything at all in it — a blank message is enough, and a person adds you within a working day.
There is a feed: kculturewire.com/rss.xml. It carries the headline and the one-line summary of every piece, and it needs nothing from you.
Each new piece as it is published, with the figure that drove it in the first line. Nothing else. We have not sent one yet — this list is opening now, and we would rather say that than describe a newsletter that does not exist.
We keep the panels behind these pages as files you can load, not as a page you have to scrape.

| Rows | 15,954 across all of them |
| Format | UTF-8 CSV, with a column dictionary that says what a blank cell means |

| Included | The corrections record and the coverage file — what we changed, and what is missing |
Every row carries a column saying how sure we are of it. Tell us what you are trying to measure and we will tell you whether these can answer it, including when they cannot — that reply is the more useful one and it is the one most people do not get. The full contents →
$39 once, or $19 a month for the refreshes.Free for the opening month, 15 August to 14 September.
No form and no card — one email, and a person answers within a working day. The opening month is the full price standing with the month opened, not a discount. The terms and the refund policy are both short enough to read before you decide.
