Popular Korean Webtoons in the US

Popular Korean Webtoons in the US   2021.04.05     In Korea and Japan, it is common for one or two writers or illustrators to complete comics from their beginning until the end. However, comics in the US are different in that the publisher owns the copyright of all the characters. Numerous writers and illustrators come together and create stories endlessly centering around the characters based on the copyrights. This is why you can easily find comics of about 32 pages mainly about masculine characters and have limited storylines. Here, Korean webtoons are blowing a new wind of change in the US comics market, appeasing a female readership as well with various characters, subjects, and genres (romance, fantasy, action, martial arts, boy’s love, sports, daily life, comedy, office life, entertainment, etc.) continuing to grow exponentially in the market.   Creative, ingenious Korean webtoons are leading the fourth Hallyu (Korean Wave) across the world. ...

Introducing Korean Sci-Fi!

Introducing Korean Sci-Fi!   2021.03.08     Beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea   To pick the genre that the public has actively consumed in Korea for the past several years, it would be "Science Fiction." However, considering the massive fandom and cultural influence of Sci-Fi in other countries such as the United States, it has not been long since the public in Korea has highlighted the genre. This is why some people think that the Sci-Fi syndrome in Korea is a sudden phenomenon. However, Korea's Sci-Fi genre has been shaped to become what it is today from about 100 years ago, creating the foundation for today's Sci-Fi to be at the center of people's attention. Then, learning the history of Korean Sci-Fi will be a good way to understand it better and get a clearer glimpse of its future outlook. The beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea goes back to 1907. The first Sci-Fi work recorded in history isserialized in the journal Taegukhakbo- a journal for Koreans studying in Japan, wh...
