I want to make sure I understand what happened, here.

A foreign entity actually stole your original story by trying to pass it off as their own on another website, and then they had the nerve to file a takedown request against YOU via making a claim to Medium that *you* had supposedly plagiarized *them*?

https://medium.com/the-pub/the-life-of-a-soldier-in-the-bts-army-a21a737336a1

So then you filed a response of your own with Medium testifying to your original ownership of the content-in-question, and Medium validated your testimonial as an author by recognizing the foreign entity as having filed the bogus claim that it did?

Do I have the chain-of-events correct? I just think some type of simplified tutorial would be extremely helpful to writers in general on the platform, if this (assuming I'm understanding it correctly) ever happens to any of us.
