The Seoul Beauty Report is a data-driven publication. This page explains how the site is funded and how that funding relates to the editorial content.

Some pages — primarily the buying guides — may contain affiliate links to retailers such as Amazon, YesStyle, or Stylevana. If a reader clicks one of these links and makes a purchase, the site may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader.

Affiliate links are marked, and their presence does not influence which products are covered. Products are selected on one basis only: their position in Olive Young’s Korea sales rankings, which the site tracks weekly. A product does not appear here because a retailer pays for placement, and it is not excluded because no affiliate program is available for it.

Where a guide has not yet been assigned an affiliate link, the link position is left empty and the guide notes that it currently contains none.

Advertising

The site may display advertising served by third parties, including Google AdSense. These providers use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites.

Editorial independence

Rankings are facts drawn from Olive Young’s published sales charts. Commentary, product descriptions, and “where to buy” notes are written to be neutral and are not reviewed or approved by any brand or retailer. The site does not accept payment in exchange for coverage, ranking position, or a favorable description.
