Webtoons are a type of digital comic that originated in South Korea usually meant to be read on computers and smartphones. Webtoon stories are designed to be read vertically (different from paper stories) and are usually colored. Many webtoons also feature music and animations that play during each chapter.

WEBTOON was opened at a time when the demand for reading webtoon was increasing, providing readers a website and webtoon reading application that was translated into English online for free and paid “publicly” without having to read the fan’s “underground” translation of the webtoon.

WEBTOON is designed to be easy to use with many items for readers to choose from, in which “Originals” are webtoons published exclusively on WEBTOON; And “Canvas” is a section for artists to create and directly upload their works here.

Readers can read the manga they like for free in many ways such as reading the first 3 chapters for free and waiting for the next chapters to be “free” after every week (usually 1 chapter/week) or using a daily ticket in the series with the function of reading daily tickets. In addition, readers can load money into WEBTOON to exchange for coins and use coins to buy locked chapters before they are opened for free. WEBTOON also opens a lot of events where readers can get free coins without depositing.

According to data from Similarweb, WEBTOON is currently the leading online comic reading application in Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines; ranked second in Singapore and Malaysia.
