Serialized Fiction App Yonder to Discontinue Service on July 31
In a recent announcement, the YONDER app, known for its serialized fiction content and English translations of popular South Korean web novels, revealed that it will cease operations on July 31. Launched in late 2022 by Naver, the app aimed to provide a curated collection of serialized storytelling to its users. However, citing a shift in focus towards their Wattpad platform, the decision to end YONDER’s service was made.
The closure process will begin on February 12, with the discontinuation of coin purchases within the app. Users are encouraged to utilize any remaining coins or free passes before the official shutdown date. After July 31, the app will no longer be accessible, and any unused coins or unlocked chapters will be inaccessible.
YONDER has been a hub for English translations of popular South Korean web novel series, including well-known titles like The Remarried Empress. Additionally, the app featured works from North American publishers such as Blackstone, Aethon, and Sterling and Stone. The closure of YONDER marks the end of an era for readers who have enjoyed the diverse range of serialized fiction available on the platform.
As readers bid farewell to YONDER, they reflect on the impact it has had on their reading experiences and the vibrant community it fostered. The app’s legacy lives on through the stories it shared and the connections it forged among readers worldwide. While its closure may mark the end of a chapter, the memories and stories shared on YONDER will continue to resonate with readers for years to come.
