Probably a bit of both. Very likely there was never any intention to take actual legal action. Spamming cease-and-desist notices electronically is cheap. Actual legal action is expensive. And spamming cease-and-desist notices will get you some success and you can then tell whatever shareholder or executive or whatever who was complaining that you did something. Even odds that whoever was agitating on the issue was only doing it to look like someone who "gets things done", so as long as it looked like something happened in response they could claim a victory and move on.

Webtoons.com seems to be opening the doors to fanmade translations http://www.webtoons.com/notice/detail?noticeNo=12
But there's webtoons.com. Why shouldn't they allow scanlators to upload their (usually better) translations there? It's still their site and they would limit the amount of people who go elsewhere to read it. Not to menton that this particular webtoon isn't even released there.
A.) It's part of the author's contract with Naver - they're not allowed to have chapters available anywhere other than on Naver. The fact that there are many webtoons circulating anyway is a testament to how considerate they're already being of the fanbase. Also, consider that there are many people who can speak both English and Korean, so as the fanbase grows, and as many sites feature the webtoon, that increases the chances that some bilingual fans would favor a non-Naver site. Even if it's less than .5% of profits, that's a lot of money when you have a large fanbase.
B.) My best guess is, Naver probably tried to target all websites hosting the webtoon. If there are some remaining, Naver likely either missed them, or sent the cease and desist notices and didn't take any action against any violators. I dunno for sure.
However, the good news: If you're interested in being able to read English scanlations while still honoring Naver's rules, you can try introducing scanlation groups to the "overlay" method, developed by Odd Squad Scanlations. This uses a plugin to "paste" translations on top of the original webtoons on the Naver site, with minimal work from the scanlators (it even gives them more control). It benefits the creators too, by dramatically increasing pageviews on Naver. More info is here. It'd be awesome if webtoon scanlators all started adopting it, since it's a win-win situation for everyone involved.
It was taken down? Dang it, i really liked this one...
Awesome, thanks a lot EGS!!
Thanks for the new chapter!
With their song choice, there is no question why they won.
Last chapter was gold but I really, really, really want to read more about the make-up girl ;-;
For those curious about tunak tunak (my friends call it tanuk tanuk :v)
"Tunak Tunak Tun - Daler Mehndi"
Oh my god, I love that song. I never thought I'd see it referenced in a Korean webtoon...so much nostalgia associated with it.
I found it while playing WoW. Male Dranei have same dance as men in the tunak videoclip
Just YouTubed. OMG how do you even find this stuff? And karaoke? Dude!
Seriously daler mehndi!
Wait what? There was another reason other than her beauty?
She's so pretty...
Thanks for the new chapter!
so am I, so am I xdxd
"Your honor, please don't make me take off my sunglasses."
and both were owned
"He himself is sometimes confused as to what kind of job he has"

Except that instead yelling OBJECTION!!!, he just stare at the judge and then he win the case
Wait... HE'S A LAWYER?
This explains all his badassery
I wanna see more of her because she's gorgeous . . . um, no, it's that other reason like Kyranol said, yeah.
