Hey guys,
Over last few weeks there's been a lot of stuff going on with the korean spo providers, starting from suddenly getting the spo on mondays.... It's been discussed quite a bit in various threads and the waiting room, but it's all buried among other topics... As i've seen some people confused about the situation, i thought it'd be helpful to just recap everything here.
Will update when we have some new info, so let's try to keep that thread clean and refrain from posting 1 line message which dont add valuable info, ok? Thanks ^^

The previous Naver blog provider
Up until recently, most of you guys knew to look at the naver blog provider (μΉ΄μΏ / Kaku)... but he suddenly said he was going to stop providing any OP content and he erased the entire content on his blog (for those who wondered, he explained he was gonna take some rest / study / prepare to look for a job... but who knows if that's the real reason)
Luckily for us, he wasnt a spo leeker directly, he just knew some people and gathered info from many different sources (5ch, twitter, etc.)
From a couple of weeks ago, he started to mention a new source on the 'dcinside' website which he refered to as "γ γ (106.101)". Some wondered, but they are 2 different people, as he also used to posted under his own nickname on that site

Dcinside
This is kind of Korean version of reddit, where various topics are discussed, and it has one section about OP.
What's important to understand is how that site's identification method works : unlike WG or other forums, they dont require to create an account with email address. To post there, you only need to type a nickname, which does NOT have to be unique (and most users there dont care or want to stay anonymous so MANY of them just use something random like γ γ ). Then automatically part of your IP address will be shown next to the nickname....
So, technically there could be thousands of users with seemingly similar id "γ γ (106.101)".
And well, just like everywhere on the internet, there are so many trolls and fake spoilers there, many users post a "spo picture" which turns out to be cropped from an old chapter or sometimes fanart.... That's why you need to be extremely cautious if there is anything posted by anyone other than 106.101 on that website as of now (some new legit guy might come out of nowhere, who knows, but only time will tell)

Real and fake 106.101
Unfortunately, during spo of chap 980 iirc, as some might remember someone with similar id posted "pic of Yamato" which was quickly dismissed as a big fake (actually Corazon)
As you can expect, everyone was utterly shocked and disappointed that the "hero spo provider" trolled everyone that way... On dc site too, as soon as it was uploaded people told him that it was Corazon, but he wrote in one on the comments that he got the silhouette picture from someone, asked them if it ain't fake and they told him it was not (hinting that he gets the pics from a 3rd or 4th party and just trusted his contact but didn't post the fake intentionally for fun.....)
After that happened, the real 106.101 spo provider guy said in a different thread that someone else with a similar IP address posted that fake Corazon photo back then (= it wasn't from him)...
He was pretty annoyed about people doubting him, and came up with the idea of posting some authentication links to his previous posts to prove he is the right one and the spo was trustworthy, not from that fake dude.... Some people started to trust him again while some others were just suspicious
While he generally posted text, he sometimes sent himself some images on tuesdays, but he said that was something he wouldn't do often, only for some big reveals like the F6. Given the quality of the pics, they were clearly stolen from a computer before the korean text was layed out and not from the magazines, so way more sensitive and easily traceable than the typical pics we generally get later in the week.....
just checked now, the usual Korean spoiler website doesn't have anything up yet BUT the person that seems to be his recent original spoiler provider has posted the following picture :
"Yamato silhouette from the back, he seems to be riding a boat going somewhere... he makes an appearance but we dont see his face"

Will we get spo again on monday??
And then, during last chapter spoiler, things started to go ugly real fast : first, he put some spo without the authentication link.... and next day said he can/will no longer put some photos, but instead drew that famous drawing of Yamato to prove that she was indeed a woman... (as we all know now, both eventually turned out to be true)
There was A LOT OF bashing and insults on dc at that time... Some of the comments that came repeatedly was "Why did you start to use the authentication link and suddenly refuse to put it? if you're not a fake and that's legit, just put it and that'll solve everything"... to which he replied "It's a pain in the ass, anyway you guys will figure out if true or not in few days after the chap is released...." (not the best answer to convince haters, uh?)
Some wrote super long thread trying to disprove every single points in the spo with "facts" and just calling him a dick... He was even threatened by some mofo who posted a screenshot of the online application to report him to the internet police... That was likely to be a "joke" but who would seriously do that? (basically if you guys think WG is toxic level 10, those dc users are on another level........)
Anyway, thanks to those assholes he announced he will stop to provide any spo..... Once all the pics and actual chap came out, of course many dc users called out to him "oh you were right", "haha where are all the haters now", "you draw fuxxing well" and so on....
But is it enough to change his mind, and can we get any more spo from him? Let's wait next week to see........
