The globalization of entertainment and cultural exchange has played a significant role in the growth of the Webtoons market. Originally popular in South Korea, Webtoons have gained international fame, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers. This global reach is facilitated by the translation and localization of content, allowing non-native speakers to enjoy Webtoons in their preferred language. Additionally, the universal themes and innovative storytelling techniques employed in Webtoons resonate with a wide audience, fostering a global community of readers and creators.
