K-webtoon refers to South Korean digital comics, commonly known as webtoons, that are designed specifically for mobile and online platforms. Unlike traditional comics, K-webtoons are typically formatted in a vertical scroll, making them easy to read on smartphones and tablets.
Smartphones have become one of the most accessible sources of entertainment for most people these days. In fact, Zippia shares that smartphones make up 70% of digital media time in the US, with 83% of that time going to entertainment. Since many users tend to consume content quickly, there’s been a rising trend to cater to this phenomenon called “snack culture.” The term originated in South Korea, referring to the behavior of going through short-form content rather than deeper reading material. These types of content take on the form of videos that are up to a minute long, including stills such as infographics and webtoons. Webtoons, specifically, are seeing increased demand from all over the world. Because of this, many companies are jumping into the webtoon business to use as marketing and boost sales.
