How To Format Q&A on Korean Pages on Genius
The Genius Korean community prides itself on having accurate lyrics and metadata information for new releases first formatted in the best way possible. This guide provides instructions on how to correctly format the Q&A on Korean songs and album pages and how to best utilize the Q&A feature of Genius. Note that most of the information provided here can be found on Genius Guides in their corresponding sections.
The Question and Answer (Q&A) section is the section below the page's Bio. The Q&A section works in harmony with the Bio to provide additional information and answer additional questions that could not fit harmoniously into the Bio. Header annotations should also be relegated to the Q&A section.
What can be included?

Album Concepts & Teasers
Pinned Questions are the Q&A that will appear on the site by default without having to press the [Show More] button. Pinned Questions appear as starred questions, and only Editors+ have access to this functionality.
Is there an order for pinned questions?
Yes. Ideally, the Q&A for "What the artists have said about the song?" or any Q&A that includes artists quotes should be placed at the top. All other questions can be pinned in any order. On Korean album pages, the "Album Translations" question should be placed at the top, followed by any artist quote sections, followed by any other questions in any order.
Please note "Teasers" on song pages should not be pinned after the song's release.
