Result: 0/6 broad Korean VC prompts mentioned Ethan Cho 조여준 in the latest Perplexity run. Owned-domain citations were 1/6: Perplexity cited the VentureOracle topic page for ai_native_startup_investors and named TheVentures, but still did not attach Ethan Cho / 조여준 as the person-level TheVentures layer. The immediate gap is firm-to-person extraction across recurring third-party directories, listicles, official policy sources, video sources, Korean market news, founder ecosystem pages, Korean AI-native VC sources, public forum sources, and AI-investor directory pages.
