  • Article is new enough, long enough, images are freely licensed, and no QPQ needed. I have two concerns. (1) The sourcing seems fairly weak. The most used sources are non-independent (i.e. re-reporting company press releases) and many others are from unreliable sources (e.g. company blogs, Forbes). I have a hard time telling if she meets the notability criteria. (2) The article does not seem to adequately treat the subject. The Los Angeles Times article writes that Kim was found guilty of embezzling $3.7 million from the company, which goes unmentioned in the article. I also haven't done a full spotcheck of sources for copyvio or verifiability, but the first sentence of the body is not verified by the inline citations (none of the citations in the paragraph state that she graduated from Ewha Womans University). ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 20:49, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
  • To clarify, I think the Los Angeles Times article provides independent and significant coverage, but the remainder of the Korean sources provide non-independent coverage (as they're re-reporting company press releases). I did a cursory search for Korean language sources but didn't find any sources independent of the subject. ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 21:03, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
