If you’ve never heard of webtoons, where have you been… living under a rock? Okay, maybe you have, but have you read any of it? Because if you haven't, you're missing out. A lot.
Technically speaking, webtoons are type of digital comic that originated in South Korea. There are multiple webtoon portals such as Naver Webtoon, Daum Webtoon, Lezhin Comics, Foxtoon, KToon, Mr.blue, and many more. But now, I'm going to tackle the Naver Webtoon. Naver Webtoon has 2 versions: English and Korean -- which you can both find in the app/play store. I have the English version installed because obviously, while I can perfectly read Hangul, I can't perfectly understand what it means. But if you're learning the language, I suggest you get the Korean version! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are webtoons that are available in the English version that you cannot find in the in the Korean version, and vice versa. There are also lots of Kdramas that are webtoon-based, such as Orange Marmalade, Cheese in the Trap, We Broke Up, Dr. Frost, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, W, My ID is Gangnam Beauty, and so much more! You might have watched these Kdramas without knowing it was a webtoon first. What I really love about webtoon is how easy it is to read compare to Japanese manga. The speech bubbles are more organized and it's not overwhelming to read at all. Also, a lot of artists all over the world has started their webtoon careers due to it's booming popularity and demand. In 2016, the famous Youtuber, Michelle Phan, published her very first webtoon - Helios: Femina. Really, anyone with such talent and passion can publish their own webtoon and actually make a living out of it! Official Line Webtoon artists can make at least 2,000 USD a month!
