Don't AI models cite Korean sources at all?

They do, but English sources dominate training data, so the pool of information an AI can draw on differs by language. An English page widens that pool for the same topic.

Do we need to create brand-new English content?

Not necessarily. Translating the Korean structure and reasoning into English — a 'mirror' page — is often enough, and it costs far less than building separate English content from scratch.

Why does a Korean-language site need English pages?

Global AI models are trained mostly on English text, so English pages help with cross-language citation and broader AI visibility. A Korean-only site risks missing English-language queries and global AI indexing entirely.
