At PopTopNews.com (“Pop Top News,” “we,” “our,” “us”), transparency and integrity are at the core of everything we publish. We are committed to providing our readers with credible, well-researched, and unbiased information about Korean actors, K-pop idols, K-dramas, and the broader Hallyu wave.
This Disclosure Statement explains our editorial independence, funding sources, advertising practices, and endorsement disclosures in line with our Ethics Policy, Ownership, Funding, and Advertising Policy, and Terms of Use.
1. Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates independently from advertisers, sponsors, and business partners. We do not allow financial relationships to influence the topics we cover, the tone of our reporting, or the conclusions we reach.
2. Affiliate Links
Some of our articles may contain affiliate links to products or services. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission—at no additional cost to you.
When affiliate links are present in an article, they will be disclosed clearly within the content.
3. Product Endorsements & Compensation
If a product, service, or brand is endorsed by an author, editor, or contributor and they receive any form of compensation for that endorsement—including, but not limited to, affiliate commissions, sponsored content fees, or free products—this will be explicitly disclosed within the content itself.
Example disclosure statement that may appear in relevant articles:
“This author receives a commission through recommended links in this content.”
This ensures our readers are fully aware of any financial relationships that could be perceived as influencing editorial content.
4. Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored articles or features. Sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such at the top of the page, in compliance with FTC guidelines and other applicable laws. Sponsored pieces are created in collaboration with the sponsor but must still adhere to our editorial standards and Fact-Checking Policy.
5. Advertising
Display ads, native ads, and promotional placements are handled by our advertising partners and are clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
We do not sell or share personal reader information with advertisers beyond what is necessary for ad delivery, as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
6. Conflicts of Interest
We require all contributors and partners to disclose any real or perceived conflicts of interest related to the subject matter of their work. This disclosure will be included in the published content where applicable, as outlined in our Conflicts of Interest Policy.
7. Reader Trust
Your trust is essential to our mission. If you have any concerns about potential bias, undisclosed compensation, or inaccuracies in our content, please contact us at:
