Max Info is an independent, English-language blog about everyday life in Korea and the practical questions that come with it: money, health, technology and culture. It is researched and written in Seoul, Korea, and published for readers in Korea and abroad.
Max Info is not a news organization, a company or a brand. It is one publisher's site, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any company, agency or person it writes about.
What Max Info covers
Every article belongs to one of four areas.

How-to and reference articles for getting things done in Korea: regional weather forecasts, public transport, prices and costs, seasonal conditions, and the everyday procedures that are hard to find explained in English.
Running & Gear
Training basics, injury prevention and recovery, and comparisons of running shoes and apparel, written for beginners as well as for regular runners.
AI Tools in Practice
What AI tools can and cannot do for writing, planning, task management and research, with the cost and the limits of each tool stated.
Korea Culture & News
Explainers on Korean politics, entertainment and K-pop, sport and cultural events: what happened, why it matters, and what the source documents say.
How the information is checked
- Sources are named. Where an article relies on official data, it names or links the source: government agencies and official statistics, company announcements, the court or legislative record, or published research.
- Figures are dated. Prices, numbers and forecasts are given for the period they cover. Every article shows its publication date, and an article about a story that is still developing states the date its information reflects.
- No invented authority. Max Info does not claim credentials, awards, partnerships or a newsroom it does not have.
- Corrections. If you find an error or an article that has gone out of date, write to us. A corrected article is updated, and the correction is dated.
What Max Info is not
Nothing on this site is financial, medical, legal or tax advice, and no article is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. See the Disclaimer for the full statement and the Privacy Policy for how this site handles data and advertising cookies.
