Webtoon’s Studio N CEO Says Western Industry Is Still Learning the Power of Webcomic IP: ‘Every Time We Have a Hit Project, Our Job Gets Easier’

Even as Studio N notches hits on Netflix, Disney+ and Crunchyroll, earns Emmy nominations and breaks Korean box-office records, its CEO says the company is still making the case for webcomic IP to much of the Western entertainment industry.

“Webcomics are still relatively new to many people in Western markets,” Mikyung (Michelle) Kwon tells Variety. “When we’re working with international development execs and distributors, we’re still educating them about the power of this format and the global fandoms underpinning our IP. Every time we have a hit project, our job gets easier.”
