Webtoons are digital comics that originated in South Korea and are designed to be read on smartphones and computers. They typically feature a vertical scrolling format, allowing readers to easily navigate through the story. Webtoons cover a wide range of genres, including romance, fantasy, and horror, appealing to diverse audiences. These comics are often published on platforms like LINE Webtoon and Tapas, where creators can share their work for free. Many webtoons are serialized, meaning new episodes are released regularly, keeping readers engaged. Some popular webtoons have even been adapted into TV shows and films, further expanding their reach.
