Dan Clancy, CEO of Twitch, announced that the company will cease operations in South Korea from 27 February 2024.

Here's What We Know

Twitch spent 10 times more to operate in Korea than in other countries. The company was looking for options to reduce costs, but there are no ways for Twitch to operate in South Korea in a more sustainable way.

It was a very difficult decision for the company to make, as Korea has always played and will continue to play a special role in the international esports community.

Twitch is also working to help Korean streamers migrate their communities to alternative live streaming services in Korea.
