I cannot understand why the author made a big fuss because someone "illegally translated" ...

She is taking 4 lawsuits on a Korean illegal website.

So she does know there are lots of Korean legal websites, but still insisted on calling Vietnam as "a country of thieves"?

Sorry, I mean Korean illegal websites

Did you check her tweets?
She tweeted that she sued 4 illegal websites in Korea, not only Vietnam. She sued 4 times, in Korea, which took a lot of time and money. By a lot I mean A LOT.
She didn't say that line either, she only said that she wouldn't publish her work in a "country of thieves", which irritates people because it feels like she was implying that everyone in the country is thief. And I think that's a mistake of hers. But she definitely wasn't saying specifically which country. If you checked her tweets (which you did not do), you would see that she was replying to another person, without knowing their nationality. Anyhow, I still think this is a mistake of hers, "country of thieves" is definitely not a good way to go.
But I don't think she is racist though. She doesn't care about the readers' nationality, she only cares if they read legally.

It's true she didn't know their nationality when she reply to another person. But she definitely assumed their nationality to say “your country is a country of thieves, not Korea". Especially when she replied this line to the person who merely reminded her "it is unnecessary to generalize"
Any way, I can understand you guys try to find excuses and justify her "mistake". But I personally haven't been convinced and still feel upset and uncomfortable with her tweets.
I still feel sympathy about her situation but it is no longer the enough reason for me to continue spending my hard-earned money on her.
That's it.

She never specifically mention only to Vietnam. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

She’s ignorant, for this reason I stop giving her my free coins.

link to the tweet cause i was looking through that shit and never saw that.

and "illegally translating"? that's exactly what they were doing.
either way she literally has no control over translations when lezhin doesn't have people who can do so in other languages yet, and they are looking for spanish/Portuguese translators.

Actually I would accept her excuses and keep supporting her if she only said the first half line. But saying "Your country is a country of thieves, not Korea" when she exactly knew there were lots of illegal websites and translation group in Korea is totally unacceptable to me.

Okay, so she is not racist, she just considered any country with even a single translation group as a country of thieves, but definitely "not Korea", no matter how many illegal websites and translation groups they had.
Emmm......are you sure this is not racist?

Another funny thing is that she keep attacking a Vietnamese girl who used to be member of another translation group, though she was already told the girl's group only translated Chinese manhwua into Vietnamese and had permission from Chinese authors.
However, when someone clearly explained some of Chinese webtoon writers did happy to let their work be privately translated and also had the copyright to give translation permission, guess what? She just suddenly disappeared without even saying a single word, not mention apologize to the poor girl who was attacked by her and her fans whole day today.
As to me, If she is not racist, she has equally terrible personality.

she literally said this after "It is true that I generalize all illegal activities. I think it's all dirty and ugly no matter what country they live in." and she's already begun lawsuits in korea so i'm pretty sure what she said in english did not carry the meaning she intended, and she confirmed that by what she said next.
do you speak korean fluently? bc if not, you don't know if it was mistranslated or if she didn't mean it in that way, and it was misinterpreted. and from what i've seen with other people, that's the case.

and with the translator who had permission-- you can't assume she saw that they were given permission before someone informed her, and you have no idea what she was/is doing. if that happened today or even a few days ago, give it time. jfc. she's clearly already extremely emotional and needs to take a break, and probably did, from social media, because so many people are running around and assuming bs for the sake of bored or to excuse illegal translations/readers.

we're all illegal readers here. so we ain't got no right to sit here and tell her how to handle things, or to straight up defend one bad thing because of another. it's a pathetic excuse,

ii'm not at all saying she did nothing wrong, but a lot was taken out of context and blown up into this huge thing as if she somehow has no right to be upset but ya'll can assume and be upset?

you can see her intentions if you stop nit picking the tweets you want to make these accusations on by reading the whole thing. she clearly did not mean these things in the context they were taken and/or the translation got skewed(which korean speakers were pointing out).

You are not her, how can you sure she didn't mean that? Especially "your country is a country of thieves, not Korea" it's a clear simple short line, not a long complicated one.
Stop finding excuses to justify her misbehaviors. She is under pressure doesn't mean she and her fans can cyberbully innocent people, OK?
It could be misunderstanding and under extremely emotional when she attack the legal Vietnamese translator, but she didn't feel sorry or apologize to the translator, AKA victim fron her own cyberbully. She just pretended nothing happened. It's totally unacceptable to me.
I'm here but I paid her manga at lezhin. I have no interest telling her how to behavior. I just want to express my disappointment and decided stop supporting her or reading her manga.
BTW, please support the author in lezhin if you do care her. It's much much useful than you arguing with people here
