I dated this girl from South Korea, she explained the renting system pretty much like above. And I kind of like it, I don't mind the whole deal, I feel like the less government and less protection I have, the better I am. When you're taking a risk by giving someone close to million dollars and you don't do insurance, you're kind of asking to be screwed over. Obviously if sk got scammed he didn't act prudently so it's impossible for me to feel sympathy for his stupidity. All in all, I think he deserves it. Let that be a lesson for him although I doubt it.

I enjoy living in Germany when i hear nonsense like that. 3 rents is the maximum by law you need to deposit here as security.
Omg poor progamers without relevant life skills ):

Too early to judge based on limited & partial information in Soulkey's particular case, especially if you don't live in S Korean and don't understand how things work there.

Like someone from S Korea mentioned, this appears to be a common pitfall that can occur to almost anyone if unlucky (excluding the rich who don't need to rent of course).

They said the scams are common, but insurance negates any risk. Seems like he neglected to get insurance to save a little money, which was a very dumb move. Hard to feel sympathetic especially since he should be careful after already being scammed, then begs viewers for money for his mistakes.

I was kind of curious about this jeonse and I asked my ex to expound a little. She said it's actually quite a secure way to go about real estates provided you do it properly. Properly means with the help of a real estate agency and then of course insurance. Of course the owner will invest the money but if he messes up and loses part or all, he is obliged by law to return the full amount. She said they usually take the money from the next tenant and give it to the previous, then try to invest again. It's also not unheard of to sell the place and pay back because you know, there's binding agreements between the parties involved, it's not like "Hey, you seem kind of cool, let me chill in your place for like 3 years. And here's 800k, do whatever with them."
She said and those were pretty much her exact words "Only morons go about giving away $800k and try to circumvent the rules and regulations. The guy you're talking about is either missing a hemisphere or more likely he himself is scamming his audience somehow. I can't believe he can be so utterly retarded, like, seriously, come on, can he be so stupid? I don't think so."
Knowing how sk is a confirmed beggar, I'm inclined to think this whole thing is some not so elaborate scheme from him to suck out a few more bucks.

His blasts against SK were all based on speculations and what his ex told him, yet he was so angry and outrageous as if he was scammed by SK.

As a side note, if SK's intention was to "suck out a few more bucks", the most convenient way would have been to "beg" his fans in live stream, yet SK hasn't been broadcasting at all since the announcement of this issue.

Well he did do that last time after leasing multiple hundred-thousand dollar cars irresponsibly. It's a little disappointing that he wouldn't be more careful now when dealing with vast sums of money that the average person will never see in their lifetime. Presumably he made all this money that he was scammed out of this second time from his viewers too, as he was broke after the first time. That's a lot of donations. I wish him the best, but he's careless at the very least, and will likely ask for more donations again. Wouldn't assume he's being shady though.

He almost made it to ASL14 finals, when in the last game 4 marines from Royal caught him off guard. His risk taking tendency in the game might have unconsciously affected his real life decision makings.

It's a bit off topic, but nevertheless I still think he's the king of ZvT.

How can u be so naive to get scammed twice in your life for a lot of money? I guess some need to learn the hard way.

Also 100k+ for rent deposit seems extraorbitantly high. You don't even put up 100k+ as a down payment when buying a house here in Germany most of the times. Cannot imagine someone putting down 100k+ as a rent security deposit????


Seoul is crazy expensive.

Now I'm starting to understand why Do Kwon is Korean.


lolololol if only Do Kwon was a Starcraft fan :/

though we'd probably get scammed to as he'd cut all fundings once in jail
