hello everyone. long time no see, but this is a pretty important matter i wanted to talk about.
my friend jeon @dattebroyo was scammed out of $5000 and has been left stranded in south korea, and needs help paying off the bills he’s been stuck with.
i’m posting this on his behalf because tumblr doesn’t work well for him in korea and i want to make sure as many people can see this as possible.
you can read more about jeon’s account of what happened here: https://twitter.com/mincypher/status/1152843030061146112 (it’s a full thread on twitter)
these are direct links to support him financially in getting out of this situation, which he desperately needs:

please help him if you have the means to.
on top of that, the person he was scammed by-- someone who i once thought was a very good friend of mine-- is the blogger who used to be known as @sungminnie/kkulbeokjji/svngmn.
min, who went by milo at the time, was exposed in march for yellowfacing (faking being half-korean), faking their gender identity, changing their legal name to a korean name, faking being a trainee, etc.
you can read more about that matter here: https://twitter.com/karmacallout/status/1106746216736608256 / https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQWMhSLiYRsaFYZS4GNbIN5gZR7CNvAYCNKzeo7DR2zymeCjXR3QcfqqHOD_HU_NyarXym3IkhFwOWl/pub.
this includes a very in-depth timeline of them faking their gender identity (they claimed to be a cis man back while they were on tumblr, among other things) as well as legally changing their name to a korean name, several prior accounts of them scamming other “friends” and such who had known them since tumblr there.
this person is manipulative, dangerous, and goes out of their way to exploit others. please do not bother contacting them. if you can, please support jeon in getting out of this situation and spreading the word that min cannot be trusted. thank you.
