Question 1

What is AI KEY by Seoul Economic Daily?

Accepted Answer

AI KEY is Seoul Economic Daily's English-language editorial intelligence hub on Korea's top public companies. It distills same-day Korean newsroom reporting and DART regulatory filings into structured briefs, sector heatmaps, and live market data for the foreign investor — published by Seoul Economic Daily, Korea's oldest English-language business daily.

Question 2

Which Korean industry sectors does AI KEY cover?

Accepted Answer

AI KEY covers 11 sectors of the Korean public market: semiconductors (Samsung Electronics, SK hynix), automotive (Hyundai Motor, Kia), batteries (LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI, SK On), defense (Hanwha Aerospace, Korea Aerospace Industries), bio, finance, platforms (Naver, Kakao), shipbuilding (HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering), holding companies, energy, and materials.

Question 3

How fresh is the data on AI KEY?

Accepted Answer

Korean newsroom articles are pulled hourly and translated by Anthropic Claude. Price data refreshes during Korean market hours (09:00–15:30 KST) from Naver Finance and Yahoo Finance. Disclosure data syncs from DART (Korea's SEC-equivalent) on each filing publication. Sector heatmaps and Top Movers are cap-weighted and recompute on each pull.

Question 4

Is the content on AI KEY machine translated or human edited?

Accepted Answer

The initial English rendering of each Korean article is produced by Anthropic Claude — currently the Claude Opus model. Editorial briefs, lead stories and data reports go through a human editor review on the CMS before publication. The translation pipeline's methodology and limitations are documented at https://en.sedaily.com/translation-policy.

Question 5

Is AI KEY free to read?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the AI KEY hub, sector pages, company profiles, news feed, and weekly briefings are free to read. A Premium tier (in development) will add earnings briefs, foreign-flow alerts, and a personal company radar for institutional and retail investors who need same-day structured outputs.

Question 6

Where does AI KEY get its data?

Accepted Answer

Newsroom content comes from Seoul Economic Daily's Korean reporting via BigKinds and the sedaily.com XML feed. Stock prices, market cap and foreign-ownership ratios come from Naver Finance. Historical price charts come from Yahoo Finance. Corporate ownership, financial filings, and major shareholder reports come from DART (전자공시시스템, opendart.fss.or.kr) — Korea's mandatory corporate disclosure system. Foreign exchange rates come from Bank of Korea ECOS.

Question 7

How is AI KEY different from the main Seoul Economic Daily site?

Accepted Answer

The main Seoul Economic Daily English site (en.sedaily.com) publishes individual translated news articles organized by category. AI KEY (en.sedaily.com/key) is the structured intelligence layer on top — it organizes the same reporting around individual companies, industry sectors, and KFTC-designated business groups (chaebol), and adds live market data, ownership graphs, and editorial briefs that don't exist in the underlying Korean reporting.

Question 8

Who publishes AI KEY?

Accepted Answer

AI KEY is published by Seoul Economic Daily (서울경제신문), founded in 1960 and one of Korea's leading business newspapers. Headquarters: Seoul, Republic of Korea. The English edition operates at en.sedaily.com.
