The proposed KMDB utilizes a hybrid aggregation method. Primary metadata is sourced from official government bodies (KOFIC) to ensure accuracy regarding release dates and certification. Secondary data, such as plot summaries and critical reception, is scraped from public archives using Python libraries (BeautifulSoup/Selenium) with a focus on respecting robots.txt protocols.
