Webtoons (Korean웹툰) are a type of digital comic that originated in South Korea usually viewed on various forms of electronic devices.

Many Manhwa are under now Webtoons.[2] In the country, as digital Manhwa have emerged as a popular medium, print publication of Manhwa has decreased.[citation needed] The amount of material published in Webtoon form has now[when?] reached an equal amount as that published offline.[3]
