How we report

Where the facts come from

Every KTRENZ story starts from sourced facts — statements we extracted from named Korean and international outlets, each traceable to the report it came from. Our writers never see a raw article and summarise it from memory; they see the fact list.

Where the numbers come from

Figures in our artist editorials are not written by the drafting step. They are substituted at publication from our own measured data — search demand for the artist’s name against its own recent history, dated career events we extract and date ourselves, and the count of social posts our tracker has collected. A paragraph whose figure cannot be resolved against that data is removed before publication rather than published with an estimate, and a piece whose headline or opening claim cannot be resolved is not published at all.
