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. 28 pieces so far, across 16 data pages.

Or write to parkintaek2@gmail.com with anything at all in it. A blank message is enough.

If you would rather not give us an address

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.

What you would actually get

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.

What we will not do with your address

• We will not sell it, rent it, or pass it to anyone.
• We will not send anything except our own pieces.
• Reply stop to any message and you are off the list. No form to find.

If you are asking on behalf of an organisation

Say so in the message. We keep the panels behind these pages as CSVs — every title, every act, every year, with a column saying how sure we are of each row and a file listing what is empty and why. Tell us what you are trying to measure and we will tell you whether our data can answer it, including when it cannot.
