Coverage and methodology
Seoulwave collects public posts and comments from major Korean portal blogs, cafés, community boards and public video comment sections, within each platform's terms. Author names and IDs are dropped at ingestion and never stored; the dataset contains only aggregates by brand, channel and day. Sentiment and topic models are trained on Korean community language, including slang, abbreviations and mixed Korean and English. A brand-matching dictionary of 18,000 brands is maintained by analysts and can be extended on request. History starts in 2019.
