Corrections and Updates
How to report an outdated or incorrect detail, and the corrections we have made.
What to send
Email contact@kspotnow.com with the page URL, the detail that looks wrong and, if you can, the official page that shows the current information.
How we check
We compare each report with the official record, usually the palace, museum, city or venue page the guide already links to, before changing a guide. When the official page has changed, we update the guide and its date.
How changes appear
Each guide shows when it was first published and when it was last updated. Temporary changes, such as a closure or a free-entry period, appear as dated notices at the top of the guide and disappear after their end date. Substantive corrections are listed below.
Images and takedown requests
If you hold the rights to an image shown here and want it removed, email contact@kspotnow.com with the page URL. We take the image down while we review the request and remove or replace it within two business days.

Seoul Museum of History Friday closing time

Time-limited facts moved into dated notices
Temporary changes such as the October 29 to November 15, 2026 free palace entry, gallery closures and seasonal program end dates now appear as dated notices at the top of the guides they affect and disappear after their end date. Forty-seven time-limited sentences in thirteen guides were moved into eleven notices.
- Korean tea culture: the Okin-dong house at Namsangol, where the village holds its tea classes, is a replica of a 1910s house, not a relocated one.

Fact-check of 24 culture guides against official sources
We re-read the official page behind every hour, fee, closing day, booking rule, station exit and date in 24 guides: 690 claims in all. Fifty-two wrong or outdated statements were corrected, claims without an official source were removed, and eight weak sources (Wikipedia and news aggregators) were replaced with official pages or the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture.
- Five palaces compared: Gyeonghuigung is about eight minutes on foot from Seodaemun Station Exit 4, not six, per the Seoul Museum of History.
- Seoul subway and T-money: Owl night buses start at about 23:00, not 23:10, and the single-journey ticket is a contactless card, not a paper ticket.
- Bukchon: the Bukchon Traditional Culture Center closes on Mondays and opens Tuesday to Friday 9:00 to 18:00 (Wednesdays to 20:00) and weekends 9:00 to 17:00.
- Namsangol Hanok Village: four of the five houses were moved from around Seoul; the Okin-dong house is a replica. Kim Chun-yeong held the rank of owijang, not ojang.
- Insadong: King Sejo dedicated the temple Wongaksa in 1465; its ten-story pagoda was completed in 1467.
- Jjimjilbang etiquette: the 22:00 to 05:00 rule for under-19s applies to 24-hour venues and lifts when a parent or guardian comes along or consents in writing.
- Korean tea culture: the history section is now sourced to the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture; unsupported claims were removed, and Dasinjeon is described as Choui's copy of a Chinese tea text rather than his own work.
- Korean holidays: Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung were also free over Seollal 2026, and six of the ten long weekends in 2027 are Saturday-to-Monday breaks.
