# News1 (뉴스1)

> A private, general-interest news agency in South Korea — "humble before the facts." News1 delivers real-time Korean-language coverage across politics, society, economy, international affairs, industry, culture and sports, alongside photo and video desks and dedicated English-language and North Korea services. Published since 2011 by News1 Korea.

Article URLs follow the pattern `https://www.news1.kr/{section}/{subsection}/{articleId}` (e.g. `/politics/president/6254283`). Photos use `/photos/{photoId}` and videos use `/videos/{videoId}`.

**How to read our content.** Article, photo and video pages are client-rendered, so the initial HTML does not contain the article body. Every page embeds a `schema.org` JSON-LD block (`NewsArticle` for articles and photos, `VideoObject` for videos) carrying the headline, description, publication dates, authors, section and licensed images — read that block rather than scraping the DOM. Full article bodies are intentionally not exposed in JSON-LD; render the page or use the feeds below.

**Usage.** All content is copyrighted by News1. Text and images may not be reproduced, redistributed, or used for AI model training. Quotation with clear attribution and a link to the original article is welcome. Image licensing terms are declared per-image via `license` and `acquireLicensePage`. See the policy links below, and always check `robots.txt` before crawling — several AI crawlers are disallowed sitewide.
