A circulating description of Bucheon University students drawing caricatures at the Bucheon International Comic Festival (BICOF) has been checked by this newspaper's verification desk, which reviewed 12 primary sources including photographs from Yonhap News Agency and Hankyung as well as material from the festival's official website. The desk issued its finding in a report dated Sept. 20, 2026.
The report cites three supporting images: a Yonhap News Agency photograph time-stamped Sept. 18, 2026; an image published by Hankyung in September 2026; and a file posted on the BICOF official website, bicof.com, in August 2026. Taken together, the images show Bucheon University students sketching caricatures on site at the comics festival, in line with the circulated description.
The review drew on 12 primary sources in total, according to the report log. The claim under examination stated that Bucheon University students were drawing caricatures at the Bucheon International Comic Festival. The desk compared that description against the photographic record from the two news outlets and the festival's own postings, and identified no contradictory material among the sources reviewed.
The photographic record from Yonhap News Agency, Hankyung and the festival's official channels matches the circulated description of Bucheon University students providing caricature drawings at BICOF. Based on that record, the desk's final judgment on the claim is True.
