kwebtoon1-9, Exercise 2: The Lezhin timeline Model answer: Allegations (reports or claims): a creator's statement about being pushed to keep working while ill; an article reporting a blacklist excluding artists from promotions (December 2017); SBS's report of a leaked email to exclude works from the main page (January 2018); authors' statements that they learned of their contract terminations through social media. Company statements: Lezhin's denial of the blacklist; the November 2017 announcement ending the late penalty by 1 February 2018; the announcement ending two authors' contracts and a statement of legal action over "false rumors"; the July 2018 apology by the CEO. Events: a protest at Lezhin's office on 11 January 2018; a forum organised by the culture ministry in late January. Why the July 2018 apology is ambiguous: the CEO "acknowledged and apologized for the allegation that it created a blacklist" - it could mean he acknowledged the blacklist itself or only the harm caused by the allegation; the article does not say, and an earlier passage records Lezhin's denial.
