Twitch Withdraws from Korea: Network Fees or Management Woes?

‘Twitch’ announced that it was withdrawing from Korea. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy revealed the reason for the withdrawal via a Twitch live broadcast, saying, “We decided to withdraw because we couldn’t cover network costs in Korea.”

The repercussions are serious. The ‘network fee’ issue that Twitch cited as the reason for the withdrawal has come up again, and starting with Twitch, aren’t other global companies also leaving Korea? Many people look at this with concern.

On the contrary, the media points out that Twitch’s worsening management is the real reason behind Twitch’s withdrawal from the Korean market. Companies that will benefit from Twitch’s withdrawal, such as Afreeca TV, Naver, TikTok, and YouTube, are also being addressed. What’s the truth behind Twitch pulling out of Korea? And what path will the viewers and streamers who used to visit Twitch take now?
