This is literally a scanlator's nightmare. I understand that it may be just a simple mistake, but the repercussion is huge. I can totally understand people's outrage, an apology will never be enough & can never repair the damage this will cause. Was the author able to track down the scanlator? It's unlikely that the author will try to take further costly legal actions against a small group of people in their teens/twenties so I hope it ends w just a threat. Still, it saddens me that the author end up getting so angry over it. I am more upset over those rather than the series being dropped. Honestly tho, people, if you don't know Korean, please, just stay far away from the author's social media account, don't post things on their account, don't tag them in your posts. You can help protect the community just by not engaging with the author/artist. This is not rocket science, so ignorance is not an excuse! Do realize that what you put out there can bring a lot of harm beyond what you can imagine.
