This page identifies the photographers, original files, reuse licenses and changes for the external photographs used on K-Culture Hub. Follow “Image used on this site” to identify the exact displayed file, and the source and license links for its reuse conditions.
Our Visual Policy
We create our own food illustrations and Korean-learning cards, including AI-generated visuals. Illustrations are explanatory references, rather than photographic records of a visit or cooking test. Editing a third-party photograph with AI does not establish permission to reuse the original. External photographs require documented reuse conditions.
Photographs are used as editorial illustrations; their inclusion does not imply that the people pictured endorse K-Culture Hub or any linked product. For a credit correction or image-rights question, email koreanculturehub@gmail.com with the article or image URL and the information we should review.
