The short version
Some links on Korea Sidekick are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes what we recommend.
How affiliate links work here
Korea Sidekick is free to read. To help cover the cost of running the Site, we sometimes link to products and services that are genuinely useful for travelers in Korea. When those links are affiliate links, we may receive a commission if you make a purchase after clicking.
Examples of partners we may link to include:
- Travel eSIM and connectivity providers (for staying online in Korea).
- Tours, tickets, and activities platforms (such as major booking marketplaces).
- Accommodation booking sites.
- Transport passes and travel essentials.
Our promise
- We only link to things we believe are actually helpful for the situation in the guide.
- A commission never decides our recommendation. If a cheaper or better non-affiliate option exists, we will tell you.
- We clearly mark or contextualize affiliate links so you are never misled.
- We do not accept payment to write fake positive reviews.
Advertising
In addition to affiliate links, the Site displays advertising (including Google AdSense) to help keep our guides free. How advertising and cookies work is described in our Privacy Policy.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you want to know whether a specific link is an affiliate link, contact us through our Contact page. This disclosure is provided in the spirit of transparency and in line with guidelines such as the U.S. FTC’s rules on endorsements.
