Any hidden costs?
No. The rates above include copywriting, keyword design, and reporting. The only separately quoted case is regulated-industry press (medical, finance, supplements) — flagged in advance.
How does this compare to other agencies?
Much of the Korean viral market publishes no prices — just "contact us." We publish ours for a simple reason: for a foreign brand, prepaying an overseas agency whose prices you can't see is itself the risk. Public rates + reports in your language + 24-hour replies are our baseline.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum engagement?
Yes — ₩490,000 (~$350) per campaign. Combine any products freely above that line.
How is the exchange rate applied?
Prices are in KRW; dollar figures are reference approximations. Your card issuer's or PayPal's rate at payment time applies.
Do you discount longer contracts?
Recurring campaigns of 3+ months get a separate quote. As the entry checklist shows, sustained publishing is what works — and the longer structure is also more cost-efficient.
