It's a grey area. There is an obscure old law with ambiguous wording, but in general, you basically just can't show genitals. There are korean porn movies that use heavy mosaics and don't show penetration. There are porn comics with lightsaber censorship. While porn is illegal, it's ambiguous enough that they can use the art vs porn argument. If you notice, Korean porn movies and especially comics tend to have more actual story than Japanese stuff.
In Kidmo's case, he got in trouble due to depicting school girls AFAIK. He didn't really draw loli stuff from what I've seen, but he did have comics about high school girls and stuff. It's pretty bullshit.
What happened was he learned about some works using his artwork without permission on some pirate site (not sure which one). He asked them to take it down. They didn't comply and told him to prove his ownership. He applied for copyright on his works which linked his real identity to it. And then he got fucked. That's just what I've read online about this situation.
