Galbijjim = Magnus Carlsen?

Hello, checked out @galbijjim stats. Impressive chess player, if he starts one tournament he almost 100% will win it. Kinda very talented strong professional chess player, not another ordinary CM, FM, IM with mouse skills. Nice score against both peng and opper. I am completely convinced he is supposed to be Magnus Carlsen. Any other guesses?
It says he's from South Korea, Magnus is Norweigan. He also has the LM rank which I don't think Magnus would accept (he'd keep the GM rank). Just because he's quite strong, I don't believe he's Magnus. You'd also have to analyze the playstyle of this guy if you wanted to be accurate enough.
Look at his worst losses. Look at DrNykterstein (Magnus)'s worst losses. Magnus has one loss in bullet/ultra against a player below 2000. it ain't close.
@Alexander_501_Q300 Arguing he is LM and South Korea is very strange, anyone can make any country in his profile. I am from Kazakhstan but if I want I can select USA or Rainbow lol. Of course if Carlsen wants he will be anonymous player, but considering that strong players (usually GMs) can identify each other due to their games he won't be anonymous for too long. From the other hand I am not strong chess player to identify any GM due to his/her games, openings etc. So I ask lichess community if someone has guesses about who @galbijjim is.
BTW: I don't think there is a big problem for strong GM accept LM title. Actually I think Magnus has no reason not to accept LM title, I don't think he has some problems about that. Ok, he's GM, so what? Don't think he is arrogant not to accept local chess source title only because he is strong GM.
no its magnus calsen he stream on lichess
They are South Korean, Magnus is Norwegian. Plus, it would be a GM if it was Magnus. All known accounts of Magnus are registered as GMs.
