Analysis Summary:

The article appears mostly accurate, with the central claim of K-beauty fans stocking up due to tariff threats supported by multiple sources. However, the article exhibits a slight bias by focusing on the negative impacts of the tariffs. The specific tariff percentage mentioned (25%) is supported, but the overall impact and consumer behavior could be portrayed with more nuance.
