What are webtoons?

Webtoons are digital comic books that originated in Korea. The word webtoon contains the Korean word 웹 meaning web and 카툰 meaning cartoon. Comic books are released digitally as they are meant to be easily readable on your phone on webtoon sites such as Lezhin and Bomtoon. Their popularity has grown exponentially overseas and nowadays also manhwa (Korean comics) are released in webtoon versions. As a result of their popularity and thrilling stories, many Korean dramas and series are nowadays based on webtoons. At KoreanBuddies, we help fans every day get their favorite manhwa books and webtoon merch!
