Creators and content providers
Webtoons are giving new life to on-page stories. Our ecosystem has created new professions and put content creators and providers at the center of a robust global content industry.
Putting a premium on story
We care about creators. When it comes to creating great stories, we focus on giving storytellers and artists the tools and space they need, without sacrificing quality for quantity.
Empowering creators through innovation
We revolutionized the webtoon industry with the ‘Wait-or-Pay’ model – letting users read the newest issues right away for a small fee, or wait until later to read for free.
By building a sustainable ecosystem for webtoon and web novel creation, we inspire creators to bring their best stories to Kakao Entertainment.
