Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons

Topic Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons 2023.03.13 Status of Korean webnovel and webtoon market Korea’s webnovel and webtoon market has been growing rapidly, representing the “K-content” category. The business has been expanding into other countries as well, such as other Asian countries and the US.
