This specific revelation evokes a giant ol’ “oof” as a result of a few hours earlier than tweeting about Seo’s launch, the New York Excelsior tweeted a welcome for its latest assist player, Soon-jae “Ansoonjae” Jae. So, ostensibly, Seo noticed the announcement and was within the technique of welcoming a assist line comrade, unaware that stated comrade could be taking his place. Damn.

To Myunb0ng, we’re deeply sorry for our miscommunication and placing you thru this case.”
