My name is Jiyoon Hwang(You guys can call me Jenny). I was born in Goyang (just a step away from Seoul), South Korea. I studied bachelor of science in Industrial Safety at Eulji-University in South Korea. I had attended Edmonds Community College as an international student for 2 quarters in 2014. After studying at Edmonds Community College, I went back to South Korea to finish my degree. I came back to United states in 2014 and now I became a student in Everett Community College. I am so glad to be a student again, because I want to pave my career with studying something new to me. All I do everyday is studying and working. This makes me bored sometimes. So, when I do have free time, I definitely go somewhere to get away.

Article Critique
I visited the samgyeopsal page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: dead links, citations for advertisements and unreliable links.
Dead links
When I saw the references page, I realized that there is no information I was looking for. I tried to find “Hansik, Must-Eat Foods” that is able to take me to Seoul official site; however, what I found out was just a dead link. Seemingly, the web page tries to explain about “The food I should eat in South Korea”, such as “Crab Pot in Seattle” although I was not able to find any link.
Citations for advertisement
If you go through the article, you will be able to find out “Palsaek Samgyupsal” is as one of the brand names of food in South Korea. Clicking a link “The new colour thing: Korean rainbow pork” will put you through to a web page “The star newspaper, Malaysia”. Which looks so unrelated to the link’s original title. It refers to an advertisement for “Palsaek Samgyupsal” located in Malaysia. It is a business approach for the brand. In my opinion, advertisements should not be used as citations in the Wiki article.
Unreliable links
Links on the reference page have led me to an unreliable blog written by a freelancer. One of the pages could not connect into it unless you log into Naver, the Korean Portal. Many Wikipedia users might accept information with subjective blogs.
Summary
It is quite difficult to evaluate this article only based on my opinion. However, I would like to give it a low evaluation rate because the reference page is connected to unreliable sources that its absence of correlation. I think that it is a lack of credibility to deliver the one subjective perspective only other than various aspects in South Korea. Moreover, Every link leads me to one review of many restaurants which I have not even heard of. It has not been updated for last few years. The food trend in South Korea must have been changed a lot; therefore, I would like to give them a little suggestion to update latest articles on Wikipedia.
