First claimed successful replication of LK-99
Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.
Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.
Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.
Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.
This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
@TheDailyShow@Trevornoah Dear Trevor, if you were able to see this, hopefully there is a American way that can help Mr. Secretary to understand the seriousness of dumping nuclear waste water into the pacific. Or we can watch “the New Mutants” without HBO together in the future
We thank Japan for its transparent efforts in its decision to dispose of the treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi site. We look forward to the Government of Japan's continued coordination with the @iaeaorg.
#JapanNuclearWater Why mainstream media did not report this news? According to Reuters, Japan government is considering pour their nuclear water into the pacific. No nuclear war so far but there is no difference than having a nuclear war if they did this!
