Hello everyone,

I figured this would be a good time for this announcement & information on the hiatus notice by the authors.

In the last update back in September, I wrote that I’d be away until November – and as it turns out, I’m still ‘away’. I really underestimated the scope of work involved (then again, I wasn’t given accurate estimate either), and while I’ve reached the final stretch, I still expect to be away till late January.

Also, I saw on  Line Webtoon that they’ve more or less caught up to the raw releases, so I don’t really see any point in resuming from where we left off. And few months ago, we were contacted by a company to work on translating webtoon scripts, one of which included ‘Gosu’ – unfortunately it didn’t quite work out between us and the deal fell through, but in the light of that, I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to continue producing scripts for Gosu even when we’re able to resume.

But a raw chapter released a fortnight ago (Gosu s2c75) has rendered all of this moot, because it included a hiatus notice – it revealed that the storywriter for the series, Mr. Ryu Gi-woon, was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer a while back and has been undergoing treatment while still working on Gosu, but he’s finally reached the limit and needs to focus fully on fighting & recovering from cancer. So as of Dec 18, 2018, Gosu has been placed on an indefinite hiatus. Best of wishes to Mr. Ryu and we hope he regains his health, no matter how long it takes.

So in summary, we’ve decided not to release any further Gosu scripts for now. We’re very sorry about this, especially to those of you who may have been waiting for our version of scripts. Thanks for all your support, much appreciated and it’s been a great ride.

Some of you commented about us working on Yongbi sequel – well, to those who didn’t know, I (Ghost) was actually the translator for the original Yongbi from the beginning to the end (under the nick Yongbi), lol. So uhm, it’s a no go for working on the sequel either.

That’s about it – we’ll keep you updated if we ever change our mind about Gosu scripts – but for now, adios.

Best wishes for the New Year,

Ghost

Gosu – Notice of Extended Delay

Hello everyone,

Here’s short notice to let you know that there will be a further extended delay before we upload the next scripts.

The thing is, I (Ghost, the translator) have become very busy and just don’t have the time or peace of mind to work on Gosu scripts at least until early November. I thought I could still find the time to work on a script or two here and there, but I’ve been proven wrong throughout last month and I’d be fooling myself if I kept on believing that I could still produce the scripts while as occupied as I am now. And it’d be unfair to anyone who’s waiting to leave them hanging without knowing when the scripts will be next uploaded.

And to be frank, I’m not even sure if there’d be any point in working on the scripts after October – I’m guessing that Line’s official version would’ve caught up to where I left off by then. But I’ll think about that when I’m actually ready to work on the scripts again.

Anyway, I’m very grateful to those who still visit this blog, and I apologise for this continued delay and further disappointment. I’ll do what I can to return as soon as I can, and hopefully late than never.

Ghost
