1. General information only

The Site publishes editorial content about Korean lifestyle, beauty, fashion, culture, entertainment, travel, places, and related trends for general informational and entertainment purposes. It is not professional advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

2. No professional advice

Content on the Site does not constitute medical, dermatological, nutritional, legal, financial, investment, tax, travel, safety, or other professional advice. Beauty and skincare content is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or guarantee of results. Product suitability, ingredients, allergies, local conditions, schedules, prices, availability, regulations, and safety guidance can change. Please check current information with the relevant official source and consult an appropriately qualified professional where needed.

3. Accuracy and timeliness

We aim to present accurate, well-sourced information, but we do not represent or warrant that the Site’s content is complete, current, accurate, reliable, or suitable for your particular circumstances. You use and rely on the Site at your own risk. We may revise, remove, or update content without notice.

4. Editorial independence

Unless a post clearly says otherwise, opinions and editorial judgments expressed on the Site are our own. References to brands, products, services, destinations, artists, or organizations do not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, partnership, or guarantee by or for any third party.

Some visual materials, preliminary research, and analytical data on the Site may be generated or assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) tools. All final editorial selections and published materials remain under our human review and editorial oversight.

As of the effective date above, the Site does not display paid advertising. We may display advertising in the future, including through third-party advertising services. If we publish sponsored content, receive a product or other benefit, or use affiliate links that may earn us a commission, we will clearly disclose that material relationship in or near the relevant content. Such compensation does not change our commitment to independent editorial judgment.

6. External links and third-party content

The Site may link to external websites or refer to third-party content for convenience and context. We do not control, review, or endorse those sites or their content, privacy practices, availability, products, services, or policies. Your use of any third-party site is governed by that site’s terms and policies.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Robin Lee and TrendKorea will not be liable for any loss, injury, damage, cost, or claim arising from your access to, use of, or reliance on the Site or any linked third-party resource. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

8. Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Site after an update means that you accept the updated disclaimer.
