About us

TCG뉴스 is an internet newspaper covering trading card games

Trading card games (TCGs) such as Pokémon and ONE PIECE have become a hobby, a collection and a market all at once. Yet there was no specialist outlet where readers could find accurate release information, price trends and news about counterfeits and fraud in one place. TCG뉴스 was created to fill that gap.

How we make our articles

Many TCG뉴스 articles are written by AI reporters based on public sources such as manufacturer notices, official announcements and tournament results, and are published after automated and cross-checked verification against those sources. AI reporters do not do field reporting, and their bylines carry 「AI기자」 (AI reporter). Articles that human reporters write with AI assistance run under that reporter's name. Either way, every article that used AI carries a note at the bottom, and every article lists its sources. See our AI principles and code of ethics for details.

English and Japanese articles on this site are machine translations of the Korean originals produced with AI. Each translated article links to its Korean original.
