When Did Nevertheless Webtoon First Publish Online?

I’m kind of the person who stamps dates into my brain for fandom timelines, so here’s the short, practical take: 'Nevertheless' first started publishing in Korean on Naver Webtoon in 2019, and the English readers mostly found it later via official translations on Webtoon around the time the drama aired in 2021. If you need the concrete first-episode date, the fastest route is to open the Naver Webtoon page for 'Nevertheless'—each episode shows its original upload date in the episode info.

I checked the series timeline when I was making a reading list last year, and that’s how I keep my sequence straight: original Korean release first, then translated uploads that broadened the audience. It’s a good pattern to remember for other adaptations too—webtoon run first on Naver, then English localization follows and a drama or adaptation often brings the rest of the world on board.

Wow, this one brings back that warm, slightly bittersweet feeling—I dove into 'Nevertheless' when it was still fresh on the Korean side of the webtoon world. The comic (by Jung Seo) originally began its Korean serialization on Naver Webtoon in 2019, and that’s where the first chapters were published online. If you want the nitty-gritty, the Naver Webtoon page for 'Nevertheless' lists the exact upload date for the very first episode, and that’s the definitive source for the initial publication timestamp.

I followed the series from those early Naver updates, then watched it blow up into wider attention when the live-action drama came out in 2021. That exposure also brought official English translations onto Webtoon (Line Webtoon), so many international readers discovered the story later through that platform. Fun little detail: the pacing and paneling on the original Naver pages felt tailored to the Korean release schedule, which is why reading the native run gave a slightly different rhythm compared to the translated episodes uploaded later.

If you’re digging for the exact day because you’re cataloging or writing something longform, go straight to the Naver entry and look at the first episode metadata—there’s your primary source. I like to cross-reference with the webtoon’s fan pages and drama coverage from 2021; they usually mention the original webtoon run year and sometimes month. Honestly, whether you trace it to the exact day or just the year, the important thing is that 'Nevertheless' has one of those gentle-but-complicated romances that sticks with you—perfect for rereads during rainy afternoons.
