kpop1-10, Exercise 3: Disputed claims

Model answer (any four):

- Han Dae-soo's move to New York: the Korean rock article says "self-exile" after bans, his own article says at his wife's persuasion. Checklist: do two sources disagree? Report what both support (the bans, the return) and name each source (Chapter 2).
- The 2009 TVXQ ruling: temporary injunction (TVXQ article) vs contract void (K-pop article), and three members vs "TVXQ and a Super Junior member". Report what both support; check a primary source (Chapter 4).
- The US$3 million training cost: an average at SM in one article, one Girls' Generation member in another. Name the owner (WSJ, 2012) and the wording (Chapters 1 and 4).
- Industry-size figures: 2012 (half-year, Korean music industry), 2017 (an estimate for K-pop), 2019 (a BTS share of GDP) measure different things. Whose number is it? Do not add them (Chapter 7).
- English in titles: 8%, 30%, 18%, 44% - not a smooth rise. Do not claim a trend the article does not explain (Chapter 6).
- "Big Three" vs "Big Four" - common usage, not a measured ranking (Chapter 7).
