A Spanish court has shut down one of the largest illegal webtoon sites in the Spanish-speaking world, marking the first time that Korean rights holders have successfully pursued legal action against piracy under a foreign jurisdiction, according to Naver Webtoon on Monday.
The site, which recorded approximately 86 million visits per month as of March 2025, had been illegally distributing translated Korean webtoons. The content industry estimates the losses caused by the site and its affiliates to be worth tens of billions of won. The case is now awaiting formal criminal proceedings.
