What the desk charges
Fees below are the figures the desk confirms in writing. A date is held after that confirmation. Payment is arranged by email, off this website. Circles and desk hours have fixed fees. A commissioned note is quoted because the pages vary.
| Appointment | Fee | Basis | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solana Update Briefing | 180,000 KRW per session | Fixed fee, confirmed in writing before the date is held | 90 minutes |
| Study Circle | 45,000 KRW per seat | Per person, paid to hold one of eight seats | 75 minutes |
| Commissioned Reading Note | From 320,000 KRW | Quoted after the document and your questions are seen | 5 to 8 working days for a single change |
| Desk Hours | 25,000 KRW per hour | Per reserved hour, a second hour only if the table is free | 60 minutes |
Update briefing
180,000 KRW covers the reading list, the ninety minutes, the annotation, and seven days of email on those pages. The fee is the same for a chair in the room and for a scheduled call. Travel to Jeongeup is yours to arrange. If the document is wider than one cluster, the desk will say so before taking the fee and will suggest a second sitting or a note.
Study circle
45,000 KRW holds one of eight seats and includes the printed copy plus the definition list the next working day. The circle is priced per person because the table has a fixed size. A pair may book two seats. The fee is not reduced because a friend already knows the vocabulary.
Commissioned reading note
Quotes start at 320,000 KRW for a single public change written for one role. The figure moves when you ask for any of the following: a release read beside a separate proposal, Korean glosses in the margin, two printed copies, or a mapping onto a written description of your own setup. Half the quoted fee is requested before reading starts. The remainder is requested when the booklet or file is handed over. You receive the quote by email and can decline it before any reading begins.
Desk hours
25,000 KRW reserves one hour at a table during Tuesday-to-Saturday daytime hours. A second hour is offered only when the next booking leaves the table free, at the same hourly fee. The hour includes shelf access and short questions. It does not include a briefing.
How to read these figures
Nothing on this page is a cart. If a fee needs to change because a document grew, you will see the new figure before you agree. Cancellations and deposits are set out on the refund page.
