I know we’re all glad the chapters are all back but I just remembered that there’s actually been something going on with Lezhin. There’s been quite an uproar bc a recent tax investigation has revealed that they haven’t been paying their artists fairly. I know us broke ppl couldn’t pay to support them so I thought we can at least do it by copying and pasting : 동의합니다 // on this link https://t.co/TKHgbyWHoM
For those of you who don’t understand the Korean all you have to do is scroll down to the bottom until you see a box and paste what I put and log into one of ur social media accounts. This will help the government take a look/ further investigate, which is the point of this petition to give the authors their legal rights. Thank you!
Yes please! I am all about buying it from Lezhin and supporting the artist as much as possible however, Lezhin are being horrible to their artists currently. They recently changed the way they pay to them and the way the deadlines work. Not only artists are pressured to produce comic at a much closer date but also their earnings are cut off by Lezhin by around 9% for ridiculous reasons. On top of those cuts I believe they also charge fines if they can't submit the comics at the wanted date. If you really want to what's going on and can't read Korean even Google Translating the page OP linked will give you some rough idea.
I don't know guys. Read this. This is what lezhin has to say. They did make changes, but to the artists benefit! https://social.lezhin.com/2017/12/12/our-statement-regarding-creator-revenue-share/
Looks like all English service artists like Sagold have been paid fairly. Only 8 artists got delayed payment from the Chinese agencies. Lezhin is not horrible to their artists. They pay artists really well. I admit I come here to read some of their manhwas T_T but I support artists whenever I can and I'm happy they are paid and supported by lezhin. If you notice, only a handful of artists are complaining. Maybe they feel too pressured about meeting deadlines, but isn't that true for anyone who has to meet a deadline?
I kinda felt sad about it ending the way it did but after reading this Q & A I feel much more grateful! The amount of time & effort she put into this story and creating everything must have been rough. I really wish that merch could be sold tho
