How to complete age verification on Bomtoon and read it in English
Bomtoon carries webtoons, comics, novels, and mature works. The public site does not show one complete overseas verification procedure before sign-in. The safe route is to use the age screen attached to your own account and ask Bomtoon support when your country or document is not listed. Bomtoon.com is in Korean, and its official English editions usually appear on a different service.
Find official English editions of Bomtoon works, use the Bomtoon account and support paths for mature works, and avoid unsafe verification links.
Read Bomtoon in English
Bomtoon.com is a Korean site, and there is no English version of it. Bomtoon also has a site in Traditional Chinese at bomtoon.tw.
Bomtoon belongs to Kidari Studio. In 2020, Kidari Studio gave Lezhin Entertainment the exclusive right to distribute its titles in English. Thus, if a Bomtoon work has an official English edition, look for it on Lezhin US (lezhinus.com) first. For example, Blossoms of the White Night is serialized on Bomtoon, and Lezhin US publishes it in English.
In March 2025, Bomtoon announced monthly releases in eight languages at the same time, English included. The announcement does not name the English platform. Search for the title on Lezhin US and in the official app stores before you use a different source.
A browser translation tool can translate the Bomtoon menus and the text on a work page. It cannot translate words that are drawn inside a webtoon image. Use it to find your way on the Korean site, and keep any translation of the story private.
Start from the official work page
Open bomtoon.com and sign in. Use the top navigation to choose 웹툰 for webtoons, 만화 for comics, or 소설 for novels. Open the work that you want to read. If it is age restricted, Bomtoon will show the account gate before it shows the complete work page.
Use that gate to reach the current verification form. Bomtoon can change the available method by country, account type, and device. A guide that names one fixed document for all users can become wrong, so treat the form on your account as the final list.
Check the account before you submit
Confirm that the account email works and that the account name and birth date are correct. Read every field before you upload personal information. Use a clear and current document only if the official form requests it.
Do not send a passport, identity card, selfie, or payment details to a person who offers to unlock the account. Do not use a shared account or another person’s identity. These methods can expose private data and can cause the account to be closed.
- Use only bomtoon.com or an official Bomtoon app.
- Check that the page uses HTTPS and the correct domain.
- Provide only the fields requested by the official form.
- Keep the error message if the request fails.
Ask Bomtoon support when the route is unclear
The footer on the official site includes 고객센터, which means customer centre. It also lists [email protected] for customer questions. Use the customer centre while signed in so the support team can identify the account.
State your country, account email, device, and the exact error. Ask whether the current service accepts verification from your country and which document type the official form supports. Do not attach a document to a general email unless Bomtoon support tells you to use that channel.
If support says that verification is not available, do not try to bypass the age gate. Use the revised edition when one exists, or choose a title that is available for your account.
Community update for overseas users in 2026
Posts on X in May and June 2026 report a stricter or less predictable overseas process. One reader said that a state identity card was no longer accepted. Another said that a national identity card failed twice before it passed. These reports do not prove that one document rule applies to every country.
Readers also raised questions about how personal information for overseas checks is described in Bomtoon’s privacy notice. Before you upload an identity document, read the current form and privacy notice. Ask Bomtoon support which document is accepted for your country and how the data is handled. A social post can show a recent problem, but it must not replace the official answer for your account.
Know what verification does not permit
Bomtoon states in its site footer that its content is protected by copyright and cannot be copied, transmitted, or distributed without approval. Verification only confirms account access. It does not change the rights in the work.
Keep any lawful private reading notes or translation private. Ask the rights holder before you publish, sell, or share a translated chapter.
