How Plagiarism of Paperslip’s Original Research And Content Harms the Korean Adoptee Community.

Posted to Paperslip on February 4th, 2026.

Tonight, I made a small discovery in my case that is relevant to ALL KSS Adoptees (and pretty much ALL Korean Adoptees) from the 1970s. It’s the kind of finding I would have previously shared immediately on the KSS forums and on Paperslip. Unfortunately, with recent and past plagiarism instances of our content, this discovery will remain with me until it is protected by copyright. And frankly, it’s likely that many of the more valuable insights made through further investigation of my case will never see the light of day. That owes entirely to the unethical behavior of others who have sought over the years to take false credit for, or to outright plagiarize my work and the work of others who have contributed to Paperslip.

It feels frustrating, given how freely information could flow before people began misappropriating the valuable insights uncovered during my investigation of my and my twin’s cases. I certainly never wanted things to be this way. But I cannot control the unethical behavior of others, so going forward, new discoveries regarding KSS will remain confidential until they are legally protected.

Legal guards are already in place to protect Paperslip’s existing content.
