Lmao. The link wont upload. Okay, this is so f**k.
all this talk about supporting the artist through lezhin? bs. lezhin is a huge mess. better just try finding other way to support the artist than buying coins through lezhin especially if you're an international fan cause the effing site doesn't give their artist any fucking royalty from any sales outside of korea, lezhin is basically hanging on a thread and finding support from their international readers because ya'll the only source of income they got now.
A lot of them have stuff like patreon tho. People could support artists there. It would be more effective than lezhin for supporting them directly.
Where did you find this info?

a really long post bout what has happened since last year (i believe), i feel annoyed just looking at the link lmao. all the shit that has happened with lezhin is only being talked about with hangul in twitter so this post really helps a lot of international fans like me to finally open my eyes about lezhin.
i want to give my two cents regarding this:
--
"in the following statement the CEO started off admitting 'few of the executive team’, in 'a state of heightened emotion’ instructed certain artists’ works to be excluded from promotions and the irrationality of their late fees and apologized"
--
even though they said they're admitting their fault and paid the authors their money i just don't want to be involved any longer with a company that uses their 'emotion' to make certain decision and uses their power to bully the authors.
I dont care if people call me hypocrite! But hey, I feel sorry for the artists. Let's stop uploading their sole source of income in illegal sites. If theres no chapters in mangago, then surely people will flock to lezhin to buy them and in that way we can support the artists. And dont give me reasons like you dont have money or whatsoever. Cause that really sounds like pickpocketing is "just" for poor people who cant afford food. Let's not starve the artists.
