Google to target global webtoon sector with Korean creators

Quick Summary:

Google Play said on Tuesday that the Korea Webtoon Industry Association (KWIA) and global digital comics platform Dashtoon signed a cooperation deal as a part of the partnership agreement between the digital distribution service of Google and the association inked last year to support the global expansion of the South Korean webtoons.

The KWIA is set to supply digital comics in the US and India through Dashtoon, while the platform is poised to introduce the Dashtoon Studio, its generative artificial intelligence tool for webtoon production, to South Korean creators.“The Indian market will become a treasure for the webtoon industry,” said KWIA Chairman Seo Bum-gang.

This diversity influences content preferences, which may pose challenges for South Korean creators entering the Indian market,” said Dashtoon Chief Operating Officer Lalith Gudipati.“Dashtoon can now provide support.”The South Korean webtoon industry is seeking to expand overseas businesses as the local market is saturated.
