kdrama1-11, Exercise 3: The record

Model answer (any four):

- Righteous Revenge (1919) and Arirang (1926) are lost; the Arirang plot is a summary, and the article says the reels are "believed to have been lost". Habit: separate what survives from what is described.
- "First Korean film" is disputed (Righteous Revenge, the companion documentary, Chunhyang-jeon); competing claims for the first cinema (Dansungsa 1907, Ae Kwan 1895). Habit: treat "first" with care.
- The Korean drama article's cable ratings list puts Crash Landing on You at number 5 with a higher figure than number 1. Habit: watch the hedges and treat both as unverified.
- Netflix's Squid Game numbers mix households, views and hours, and a headline says 111 million in a month while the text says 17 days. Habit: do not compare figures in different units.
- Launch dates for KBS, TBC and MBC differ between tables in the television article, and the rating bodies changed (Media Service Korea, TNS Media Korea, TNmS, Nielsen Korea alone from 1 January 2024). Habit: note the conflict, do not choose.
