Partnerships
We visit first, then we write.
K-Lifestyle introduces Korean food, places, culture and everyday life to readers from abroad, in four languages. If you run a shop or a brand and would like to be featured, write to us. We write about what we actually visited and tried, and when a post was sponsored or the visit was hosted, we say so at the very top.
Ways to work together
Hosted visit
Invite us to your shop or event. We come, eat, look around and write about it. The post is marked "Invited" at the top.
Sponsored post
A post written in return for payment, products or services. It is marked "Sponsored" at the top, and links to the sponsor carry the sponsored-link attribute that search engines recognise.
Suggest a place
You can also simply tell us about your shop or brand, with no sponsorship. When it suits the site we may visit on our own. We cannot write about every suggestion.
What we keep to when we write
- Only what we visited
- We do not write as if we had been somewhere we have not, or used something we have not.
- Sponsorship is disclosed
- It is written at the top of the post so readers know before they read. The same label appears on the cards in our lists.
- The content is ours
- What we say and how we rate it is decided by K-Lifestyle. We write what was good and what could be better, and we do not promise a favourable review in advance.
- Facts as of the visit
- Prices, opening hours and locations are written as we found them on the day. Tell us when something changes and we will correct it.
- Four languages
- The same post appears on the English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese pages.
What we do not do
- We do not promise good reviews or rankings in return for payment.
- We do not publish a sponsored or hosted post as if it were not one.
- We do not write a visit review from supplied materials without going.
Who reads K-Lifestyle
- People planning a trip to Korea who want to know where to eat and what to do
- Foreigners living in Korea who need practical help with housing, banking, hospitals and visas
- People abroad who enjoy Korean food and culture
Every post is published in English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
