Option 1

 * Joseon
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article itself has many sources and seems decently written. I feel that the lead could be altered to be more concise and some wording needs to be changed so it does not sound too persuasive. More citations need to be added in certain sections. Being a historical topic, many sources and research will be at my disposal to edit this article into a better quality article.

Option 2

 * Marriage in South Korea
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead for this article is too short and does not convey what the article aims to enlighten the readers on. I feel the lead needs to be a bit longer and needs good cited sources. This article does not sound overly persuasive and reads in a fact displaying manner. There are some grammatical and spelling errors that need to be fixed but not many. This article definitely needs more citations from credible sources. I also think that the addition of more visual aid would be appropriate in helping readers to understand the differences in marriage styles and time periods.

Option 3

 * Korean Wave
 * Article Evaluation
 * I think the lead in this article is well written and cited. I also think that the fact that this article has an overview is actually a useful addition. Some things seem to need some updated sources and citation but I feel it is a solid piece of writing to edit.

Option 4

 * Big Hit Entertainment
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead for this article is short, to the point, and conveys what the article will be discussing. The article itself is very short but has 35 listed sources so I feel that it could be a good article to edit and expand on. One issue might be finding more information dealing with the company itself.

Option 5

 * BTS (band)
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article lead is concise and decently conveys the article topic. This article is in need of some more citations and source material (it could go to show that the amount of scholarly source material is limited). The article seems to be written in a fact presenting way instead of coming off as too persuasive. If more credible source material can be found it could be a good article to expand on.
