Cultural Post #8 (with artifact)

[Sarah Kwon]

Korea has is the birthplace of webtoons, a comic characterized by having fully colored images. Korea has many web pages where you can read webtoons for free or for a fixed price. Webtoon is so popular in Korea that many dramas are actually based off of some popular webtoons that teens read. Being a webtoon artist/author is a full-time job and people can get famous off of their work. To further my Korean language enrichment, I actually tried reading a couple of Korean webtoons during my free time. I find them very fun and easy to read because the images help me with understanding what is happening in each scenario.
