Here's why South Korean webtoons are poised to become the next big thing in comics:
When it comes to comics, it seems the industry never stays in one place for long. As new and old publishers search for up-and-coming hits, the industry itself has found new mediums to embrace. This is why manga has become the dominant seller of comics globally, and now, it seems South Korean webtoons are next in line to blow.
Manga giants like Shueisha and Kodansha lead the top ten list, but Kakao and Naver are hard to miss. The two South Korean publishers ranked fifth and sixth on the list respectively. This put them above major players like Marvel Comics and DC Comics, so you can see why webtoons are sparking conversation in the industry.
Cleary, webtoons are growing fast, and their popularity is being expanded with multimedia deals. From live-action Korean dramas to anime series and even manga tie-ins, the webtoon market is already a global force to reckon with. When you combine the industry's plentiful apps and translation tools with webtoon merchandising, you can see why this report has trained its focus on the medium. It is expanding at an exponential rate, but the question remains whether webtoons can sustain growth.
