User:Diannaa pointed out on AN that Sungwookchoi was quacking like crazy. Since the former account is blocked, this would technically be block evasion, but if they admitted to being the same person and wanting to use the new account then the original block rationale (a username violation) would be moot.

All three users almost exclusively edited in the area "tourist information related to Korean Buddhist temples" with a focus on the temples' "temple stay programs". The editors also have a characteristic Article section with bold-text subtitles written in flowery tourism industry words writing style.

I'm requesting CU because not only do these appear to be the same person, but the timeline -- Templestaykorea was active in early December, Sungwookchoi was active early December to late January, Q1w2e3r4t% was active in mid-February -- makes me suspect this might be an account-jumping sockmaster, and if so there are two unblocked accounts of the same user at the same time, and likely someone else active in the field at the moment.

 * Shit, really!? I didn't see that coming. How recent would they need to have been? Hijiri 88 ( 聖やや ) 11:39, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Technical data is kept for 90 days (See: WP:CHECKUSER). Those accounts made no edits in the last 90 days.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  13:23, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
