This research analyzes the taboo and offensive language of the Korean webtoon Lookism, and its Spanish versions translated by the Naver Webtoon platform and by fans. The story is based on the life of the main character Park Hyung Suk, who deals with bullying situations in a school environment. This webtoon also addresses the issue of South Korean society's beauty standards that influence the treatment of this character. The dialogues of this webtoon contain several taboo and offensive words because it is a way of representing how teenagers use these terms to intimidate and humiliate those characters who are not beautiful or thin, as well as to express feelings of fear, anger, surprise, among others. The corpus constructed from scenes of Lookism was studied by means of contrastive textual analysis to analyze the offensive connotation and how they affect the characterization of the characters, to observe the macro-techniques (dysphemism for dysphemism, euphemism for dysphemism, and dysphemism for euphemism) and to explain the function that taboo and offensive language fulfill in the dialogues. The results suggest that, in both the translation by the Naver Webtoon platform and the fan translation, the implications of taboo and offensive language are largely higher compared to the source text, which is due to the cultural difference between South Korea and Latin America.
