Terms of Use

This notice applies when you use the reading content and features of MeKorean Classics at mekorean.com.

The Nature of the Content

MeKorean Classics provides modern retellings and commentary for reading Korean classics, together with sources for related materials. Retellings may include summaries, rewritten sentences, and connections between scenes. When quoting an original for scholarly purposes or checking the wording of a particular edition, please compare the source materials directly.

Reading and Sharing

You may read public pages, consult them for personal reference, and share their addresses. When quoting, distinguish the original text, modern retelling, and commentary, and check the source and applicable conditions of use. Do not present sentences newly written for this library as though they were sentences from the original classic.

This library claims no exclusive rights in original works whose economic copyright protection has expired. Rights in individual materials such as modern translations, images, and annotations are distinct from rights in MeKorean's newly written texts. Before republishing material elsewhere or using it in a separate service, check the conditions for the material concerned. See Sources and Corrections for further details.

Changes to Materials and Features

External materials are provided by the institutions concerned, and both link availability and conditions of use may change.
