Major Korean Webtoon & Manga Piracy Sites Shut Down, Sparking Outrage and Cynicism Among Fans
TL;DR — IN KOREAN VIBES

The shutdown of these major illegal webtoon and manga aggregation sites has sent shockwaves through Korean online communities, as they were a primary source for many readers to access content, especially Japanese manga not officially available in Korea. It's trending due to the immediate impact on content consumption and the ongoing debate about content accessibility and piracy.

Seriously, just officially release (jeongbal) Ban-jang! I even bought the recipe book in Japan, I don't get why it's not officially released here.

Publishers, please make it mandatory to finish series when you sign contracts, damn it! They animate something, release a few volumes, then just abandon it. I've become a collector of incomplete works too many times.

Since it was 'Tokki' (rabbit), next it'll be 'Geobugi' (turtle), right? 'NewGeobuk' opening soon!

Marumaru (a previous major illegal site) closed, they said 'will never reopen.' A few months later, ManaTokki opened lollll.

They write that, but after the crackdown period, they'll probably revive like crazy, haha.
