Congrats to SIU for taking a stand and announcing a hiatus. I don't know alot, because I'm an English fan, but Webtoon isn't the best company to work for.

I can't imagine the pressure smaller creators are under.

He's a human being first. It hurt to hear/read that he feels like his entire life is dedicated to TOG. That's not healthy.

Idk if everyone knows already but the company forced him to work during a break before. He literally snapped and wrote that he hates how he's being treated. In the special chapter/army parody they made him write. His anger is literally plastered all over the site that mistreated him. Which is kind of badass, but really awful.

(I don't think it was translated into English, maybe for shady reasons. Correct me if I'm wrong. There is a parody chapter where he yells at Naver for an entire page. Google it.)

He's not making money, because TOG isn't updating right now. I think this is a travesty.

SIU doesn't get a cut of merch sales? He doesn't have a nest egg from licensing the anime? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

He has his own studio with multiple assistants. I imagine he can't afford that without regular updates. (Also unfair in a way. Many people would assume Naver provides a helping hand here. They are huge in Korea. Do they not help with rent? Computer/drawing program updates? Their authors deserve the best basic resources. Because...you know...Naver expects crazy high quality work every week.)

I know this problem isn't exclusive to SIU. I'm very glad he's being so open about the horrors of work/life balance.

It's complicated, and I don't need to know all the details. The point is, this could have been prevented. Nothing is stopping these companies from acknowledging exhaustion.

Give them a two month break each year, like teachers. If they really have to produce weekly content. Those two months would probably help with keeping the script quality high too.

Burnout is real and entertainment shouldn't be squeezed out of miserable, sick creators.

Naver shot themselves in the foot. Don't blame SIU. Don't pester SIU in the comments.

Pester Naver. Blast Webtoon. Ask about the pay rates for authors. If you really have to be annoying hit the company that swept this under the rug. SIU clearly doesn't get vacation pay. That's bad enough.
