I'm a bit confused. There seems to be alot of BL Webtoons from Korea but the country is super conservative and has alot of censorship and everything...how are the authors managing that? I mean it's rather extreme there...So maybe there are some koreans here or some that know more :)

    it must be like japan, where they are super conservative (japan is less way less than korea but still) but they think its ok if its fiction
    just my guess (≧∀≦)

    Nah koreans aren't good with hot smexy scenes, most are covered up and such, maybe for those new ones they will like it, they are just very good with their angle and story plot in which I think is pretty neat.

    south korea where those webtoons come from is not that extreme to limit people's access to sites or fan works. North korea is, and I doubt you're gonna see anything from there any time soon. The question that I also ask myself is about china, china is arresting fanfiction authors but they published just this winter an animation that origins from a full n BL novel. Which is also being published still. Doesn't really make sense to me

    Well... maybe of copyrights?
    When you say FanFiction, they just made a version of their own from an already published work. So yeah, sometimes these fanfictions can be sued if the original will do so.

    Example: 50 shades of gray; it was a fanfiction from twilight saga and before they can publish, they have to change every character's name. I hope it make sense. XDD

    Yeah...regarding China I'm also confused. For e.g. 'Uncontrolled Love' is a BL Movie from a novel and it even has a second (happy) ending :D
