The same process for every area.
A single search misses places. We combine area, neighborhood, and cuisine queries; in Gangnam alone that meant 736 candidates.
Every candidate is matched by name and address against MOIS business licensing data. Closed or unverifiable places drop out here.
Duplicate brands are removed, and editors weigh listing completeness and Kakao Map user response. Advertising never affects the picks.
No. These are editorial picks and the order carries no meaning. Each page discloses how many candidates were reviewed and the selection criteria.
No. Advertising does not affect inclusion or order. This principle is stated at the bottom of every page.
Menus, prices, and hours can change, so everything is dated to its verification date. We re-verify and update when corrections come in.
Every candidate is matched against MOIS business licensing data, and places whose records show closure or suspension are dropped.
Ten Gangnam picks chosen from 736 verified candidates are ready. New areas open regularly.
