Naver, Korea's top search portal, has launched an English version app under the name of LINE Webtoon which is the most popular online comic service in Korea. The app offers free comics optimized for smartphone devices and mobile web browers. There are currently 43 cartoons, including several globally heralded series among the 520 original Naver webtoons and some brand new series by American artists, available now on the new LINE Webtoon app. Webtoons are updated daily and users can read as many webtoons as they want for free.
As a part of our project, we would like to interview aspiring artists who are interested in the comic industry and artists who have experience in publishing comics online (personal blog or professional websites).
