Can my webcomic be promoted as a Webtoon Original even if it is on Tapas?

Hello everyone!
New member here and an aspiring author.
I tried searching but couldn't find an answer. I just posted my webcomic at Webtoon and planning to publish it here on Tapas later this month. I'm wondering, if my goal is to be qualified as a Webtoon Original will there be no problem if it's also on Tapas? Or I'll be required to remove it from Tapas if luckily I got qualified?

And here's the link to my webcomic for those who are interested

Kyng and the Gang

Thank you.

as far as i can recall any comic thats qualified to become a webtoon original has to remove its episodes from other platforms.

i used to follow four leaf here on tapas before it moved to wt as an iriginal and all the episodes were taken down and the same for quite a few others. im guessing its part of the contract agreement.

chances of being picked up is always unknown but so long as your just a regular uploading your stuff it can go anywhere

@VibrantFox is right, if they will choose you for Original, you will have to delete it from Tapas. Most people are not chosen that quickly though (if they ever are), so don't worry about it, if you'll gain fans on Tapas at the time, they will most likely follow you on Webtoons ^^

you still hold your IP if you publish your comic in canvas and tapas,
if I'm not mistaken, if you got contacted by WT for originals you have to remove all your chapters and other platforms which you publish your comic

i post on both platforms though as @VibrantFox said chances of being picked are unkown

Thank you! That cleared things up. I'll be posting regularly, hope I get noticed by more readers.

What I really love about Tapas is the community. I've got lots of support in my old account when I posted here in 2016. Thank you! I'll proceed with my plans and will publish it here.
