Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Korean regional cuisine — The entry references Ryanggang and Chagang provinces in the context of historical Joseon provinces, but these are modern North Korean provinces created after 1945, which is an anachronism.

Banchan — The entry contains a factual inconsistency: it states banchan originated from Buddhist influence around the mid-Three Kingdoms period, but its own LORE section associates banchan with the Joseon Dynasty, creating a contradiction about the historical origin.

Bulgogi — The claim that bulgogi originated during the Goguryeo era as maekjeok is not supported by established historical canon; the direct lineage is speculative.

Bulgogi — The statement that Dongguksesi records bulgogi under the name yeomjeok is incorrect; that term is not found in that text.

Dosirak — The earliest attested form '도슭' is from the 19th century, not the 18th century.

Dosirak — Gimbap has indigenous Korean origins predating Japanese influence; it is inaccurate to claim it was simply adopted from norimaki sushi during the Japanese occupation.

Dotori-muk — The claim that King Seonjo ate dotori-muk during the Imjin War is not supported by verifiable historical records and appears apocryphal.

Dotori-muk — Muk-mari is made by wrapping dotori-muk in dried seaweed (gim), not with 'salted seaweed and dried acorn'.

Dried shredded squid — The entry states that dried shredded squid was 'later sold in Macau as an addition to almond biscuits,' but there is no widely-known canon or historical evidence supporting this specific claim.

Dried shredded squid — The entry states that in Singapore, it was marketed as 'Chewing gum of the Orientals' by the company Ken Ken in the 1970s, but the specific attribution to 'Ken Ken' as the company is not consistently verified in reliable sources.

Drinking culture of Korea — The Koryo Dynasty is incorrectly dated as 936–943; the correct span is 918–1392.

Drinking culture of Korea — The claim that 'distilled water' gave people the know-how to distill spirits is factually incorrect; distillation of alcohol requires knowledge of distilling alcohol, not distilled water.

Eatyourkimchi — The channel was renamed 'Simon & Martina' in 2016 and remained under that name until the channel ended in 2022, not just until 2020.

Eatyourkimchi — They married in 2007, but not on their graduation day—they graduated in 2006.
