Appears to be, but the writing is in third person. Maybe it's a Korean thing. | |

We covered all this earlier today.
Pointless having numerous threads on it.
There’s a news story already in place.
Appreciate the willingness to talk, but if it’s all contained within the same thread it helps moderation far better. 👍
UPDATE Joel Kim
Someone we have been talking to for quite a while, a respected journalist, has updated the information to this report.
Finally! About a few hours ago, after what has been a tense few days Sports Chosun has received definitive confirmation that Gwangju FC have indeed finally decided to let him go for 1.2 million euros and presumably other agreed upon conditions. It’s done. This time for real, I’m happy to say. Medicals and media duties await. Official club announcements are expected soon. Congrats #Swans
