Named founder review credit

Added a named "reviewedBy" credit (HJ MUN, Koursea Founder) to healthcare, financial-fraud-risk and immigration pages, alongside the existing editorial byline, so higher-risk content shows who is individually accountable for it.

Applied to 21 pages: healthcare consultation guides, DCC/credit-card conversion, K-ETA and immigration-forms guidance, ARC and foreign-driver's-license pages.

Corrected

Shared topic-image captions relabeled as illustrative

Nine reused category stock images (spanning food, medical, planning and other topics) were captioned "Photo: Koursea Editorial" even though the same image appears across many unrelated pages. Captions now read "Photo: Koursea Editorial (illustrative)".

651 pages affected; Wikimedia Commons and Yonhap News credited images were already accurately sourced and left unchanged.

Search-intent audit: 8 overlapping guide pairs differentiated

Title, description, H1 and structured data rewritten to separate genuinely overlapping pages by intent (electrical adapters, Haeundae Blue Line Park, ATM withdrawals, trash disposal, tipping culture, Andong Hahoe Folk Village). No new prices, hours or capability claims were added; each split reorganizes facts already present on the pages.

Self-canonical preserved on every page; the site's own search index resynced to match.
