Two giants webtoon platforms in the online comic market
Allow me to briefly introduce the two major webtoon platforms, which are the creators of the webtoon format and dominate the market share, almost 90% of Korea’s online comics and manhwa. follow me.
Naver Webtoon
Naver is a South Korean web portal that launched Naver Webtoon, which is a webtoon platform. It’s the biggest online comics platform in Korea and worldwide. According to Naver, the first webtoon service was launched on July 17, 2004. After a major reorg in February 2006, webtoons became the main topic for real.
Together with Daum (merged with Kakao), Naver pioneered the online comics market. Going beyond the initial market of simply scanning and showing paper comics and manhwa, we created a webtoon format optimized for personal browsers – smartphones, PCs, and tablets.
In addition, Naver comics frequently produce their own Internet serializations as well as webtoon services. Professional artists create Naver webtoons, which are full-color online comic strips. They feature a broad range of genres and styles, including action, romance, comedy, horror, and drama. New episodes are added every day.
Kakao Webtoon
On August 1, 2021, Kakao Webtoon was created and reorganized from Daum Webtoon, as a result of the integration of webtoon contents scattered across the Kakao Page and Daum Webtoon. These two content platforms are siblings. The Kakao Page offers a powerful web novel service, and it is still operational with webtoon contents also.
Daum Webtoon, the precursor of Kakao Webtoon, was founded on February 24, 2003, when the Daum portal’s news section was reorganized into Daum Media. Omnibus webtoons and current events comics were among its early offerings.
After that, Kang Full’s Romance Comics became a huge hit, collecting 32 million page views. Since then, the number of authors has gradually increased, and the online cartoon service has begun in earnest.
Especially It is faster than Naver Webtoon in terms of beginning, and it can be argued that it was the first to start a webtoon site among the remaining Korean webtoon sites. And it played a pioneering role in various functions and services.
