Webtoon
- Founded
- 2004
A mobile-first digital comics hub that helped popularize the vertical scroll webtoon format. Webtoon mixes professionally-produced Originals with an open self-publishing space where creators can upload episodes, build communities, and earn through programs like ad revenue sharing. It first launched in South Korea under Naver in 2004 and later expanded worldwide, turning serialized comics into an always on pipeline for new stories and breakout creators.
