  • Mrs. Park: I was too embarrassed to say this. I bought SASEUL from someone I know, and it hasn't come for months. They say they'll send it after the hard fork
  • Fixer: The official notices never say sending coins stops because of a hard fork. In fact there's a notice warning people about hard fork excuses. And transactions are still going through right now.
  • The Realist: Put your wallet address into the explorer
  • Mrs. Park: ...Nothing came in. But now they say I'll get it if I install another app. And to send a little more money
  • The Realist: Don't send any more
  • Fixer: Keep your messages and transfer records, and report it to the police (112) or through the cybercrime report site.
  • Mr. Kim: I bet a lot of people are too embarrassed to say anything
  • Mrs. Park: I feel so much better for saying it here. Thank you, everyone

If you sent money first, in Korean won (KRW), to buy SASEUL coins and the coins never came, the first thing to do is not send any more money. Then check on the official block explorer (the official site that shows the record book to anyone) whether coins came into your address.

"They can only be sent after the hard fork", "you have to install another app to receive them", "notice of crypto tax from the tax office" can all be used as excuses to get more money out of you. Up to September 27, 2026, the official SASEUL notices said nothing about sending coins stopping because of a hard fork (a big update after which old programs no longer fit).

Public records can't tell you whether a seller is a scammer. The explorer doesn't show the names of who sent what. But you can check right now whether coins arrived and whether the excuse matches the official notices.

Where is SASEUL bought and sold right now?

As of September 27, 2026, there's no exchange where SASEUL is listed (BitMart has stopped trading). The only listing confirmed by an official notice was BitMart, and BitMart stopped all trading on August 26, 2026. Since then, OTC trading (people buying and selling directly, not through an exchange) seems to be going on.

On September 27, 2026, the trading boards of two Naver Cafes (Naver is Korea's biggest web portal, and its "cafes" are online community boards), "사슬EX" (SASEUL EX, cafe.naver.com/saseulex) and "사슬 크립토 커뮤니티" (SASEUL Crypto Community, cafe.naver.com/saseullabs), had sell posts from that day. The person-to-person trading board saseulp2p.kr also had sell posts up to August 15, 2026. This doesn't mean the people running these places did anything fraudulent. It means trading between individuals comes with things to watch out for.

Neither the official SASEUL notice channel nor the official site points to these places. saseulp2p.kr itself says it isn't an exchange, and that it doesn't broker or guarantee trades or hold coins or money.

What should I watch out for when trading person to person?

In person-to-person trades, you send won (KRW) first and get the coins later, so be careful. Wherever you bought, check on the official explorer whether the coins arrived, as shown below.

How do I check if the coins really arrived?

Check on the official explorer, explorer.saseul.com. Look at the explorer you opened yourself, not a screen or photo the seller shows you.

  1. Copy your wallet address (like an account number for receiving coins) from your wallet app (such as Guardee, the official wallet)
  2. Type explorer.saseul.com into your browser yourself. Don't tap links you got in a text message
  3. Paste the address into the search box in the middle (Search by tx hash / address) and click the magnifying glass
  4. On your address page, see if there's any record of coins received. If the seller gave you a transaction number, put that into the same search box too

Top of the official SASEUL explorer's front page (September 27, 2026, around 10 a.m.). Put your wallet address into the red box.

If the explorer has no record, the coins haven't come to your address yet. The explorer shows only addresses and numbers, not the sender's name. So the explorer can't tell you who the seller is.

Is it true they'll send it "after the hard fork"?

Official notices don't back that up. A hard fork is a big change to the SASEUL record book program. On September 27, 2026, I went through the official SASEUL Telegram notice channel from the first post (#1, June 2022) to the last (#84, September 15, 2026). No notice said sending coins stops because of a hard fork.

There is one notice a seller might point to, though. Notice #61 from September 14, 2024 says transactions will likely be delayed until the hard fork is done. The cause was mining computers (nodes) that had changed their code against the rules. And it said "delayed", not "stopped". That was two years ago, and transactions are going through now.

In fact, there's a notice telling people to be careful. Notice #68 from September 22, 2025 opens by saying it was written because many people lost money over false information and pushing around the coming hard fork.

The July 28, 2026 notice (#82) says the next hard fork (2.3) is being prepared. No date was given. And coins can still be sent now. On the official explorer, the transaction count went from 10,843,603 at 9:23 a.m. on September 27 to 10,843,748 around 10 a.m. That's 145 more in about 40 minutes.

What if they tell you to install a different wallet app or a new coin?

Start by checking which wallet is the official one. The wallet pointed to by the official site (saseul.com), the official X account and the official GitHub is Guardee. Get it by following the Wallet link on the official site. Don't install it from a link the seller sends you.

Even if an app shows a coin balance, the app screen alone can't tell you whether it's real SASEUL coins (SL). To know if the coins you were told you got are real SL, put your wallet address into the official explorer as shown above. If there's no record there, no SL has come to your address.

If they want you to install an app and also send more money, stop right there. It doesn't matter if they call it a setup fee, a conversion cost or a verification fee. You can see all the official addresses in one place in SASEUL's official channels.

Is the crypto tax email from Korea's tax agency real?

An email in the name of Korea's National Tax Service (the country's tax agency) can still be fake. On August 18, 2026, a National Tax Service notice on Korea's government policy briefing site said hacking emails pretending to be from the agency were spreading, with titles like "Advance explanation notice for crypto asset taxation".

If an email or text says "pay the tax first and we'll send your coins", don't click the link. Go to Hometax yourself and check.

I already sent money. What do I do now?

Don't send any more. That goes for anything, whatever it's called: fees, taxes, deposits, account unlock costs, hard fork conversion costs.

These places take reports in Korea. I opened each one myself on September 27, 2026. Outside Korea, contact your local police.
