Sun Oct 04 — Of the 243 Korean titles we track on Netflix charts, 76 share an exact English name with a film or series from another country. Desire is used by sixteen. We measured our own blind spot and are printing it.
Sat Aug 08 — Across 493,600 country-chart rows, 18,586 weekly lists put one title in two or more places. One show has held seven of the ten. Seasons explain some of it.
Sat Aug 08 — We tagged every changed figure with the kind of mistake that produced it. One kind accounts for nine of the thirty-six. Four kinds still have no test, and this piece names them rather than reporting the coverage.
Sat Aug 08 — We asked Wikidata which country made each of our 421 chart titles. Films come back ambiguous 54.1% of the time, series 22.5%. Short names are why.
Sat Aug 08 — Wikidata holds 2,128 Korean musical groups. Our attention panel sees the 816 with an English Wikipedia article. Among singers the gap is wider — 5,408 exist, we measure 1,421, and 3,572 of the missing ones have a Korean article.
Sat Aug 08 — Wikidata records no cast at all for 266 of 901 Korean titles. Of the 635 that have any, the median series lists five names. What that limits.
Fri Aug 07 — 215 of 421 titles never reached a global Top 10, so Netflix's language label — the only thing that separates a Korean work from a foreign one with the same name — cannot be applied to them. They are also the small ones.
Fri Aug 07 — Our Korean Netflix catalogue was 294 titles and 27.7 billion hours. It is 236 and 23.7 billion. Here is the mistake, how it spread, why counting alone would never have caught it, and what we changed so it cannot happen the same way twice.
We hold 417 tags in all. 242 of them are on a single piece, and we do not publish a page for those — the tag still shows on the article, it just does not become an address of its own.
