Both created on same day (Feb 9th) to push their bias and POV at the Concerns and controversies at the 2022 Winter Olympics article, almost exclusivley. Besides the fact both have a famous Korean's name along with a year, it seems way too coincidental two different users would create an account with similar user names on the same day, while editing the same article.

 * Quite possibly the same person, but no temporal overlap between the accounts, so no violation of WP:ILLEGIT. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:38, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Ooops, I missed that there is actually some overlap. Thank you to Tamzin for pointing it out to me (off-wiki).  I'll reopen this. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:05, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would have been fine with Roy leaving this closed, but since he's reopened, I think this just barely meets the standard for a check. It's a nationalism-related topic, so we expect a certain amount of similar edits, but neither edits like a new user, they have removed the same content, and they indeed have similar usernames. I think this is more likely meatpuppetry than sockpuppetry, but I'd like to see a CU rule that out. Even if it's sockpuppetry, if it's just two other accounts, that merits, at most, a block of one and warning to the other, but the non-new behavior raises the possibility of other accounts lurking undetected.Also noting, for others' context, my close at Sockpuppet investigations/STSC/Archive. I stand by my take that it is unlikely this is STSC (a user with 15 years' tenure and no history of socking), but of course if that name were to pop up during a check, that would be notable.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 21:41, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Jungkook is ❌ to YoonYoung. And while I was there, they're both ❌ to STSC.  It does not seem at all unexpected to me that while a major sporting event is in progress, multiple people would want to write about it. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:33, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
