In addition to its rapid growth in the international market such as America, China, Japan, etc., the webtoon business is foreseen to lead the next generation of ‘The Korean Wave’ worldwide.
AB Entertainment has a foundation of 15+ years in the cartoon / animation business and has developed countless talents over the year. We also pride ourselves in establishing Wecomics on May 2015, a webtoon-focused academic institution that has branches in Gangnam, Konkuk University, and Bundang with over 200 students that are eligible to debut as artists on a professional level. With this basis, AB Entertainment will continue its efforts in managing web toon artists and aim to develop its webtoon content-based businesses through webtoon production, movie/drama licensing, distribution, and export by entering the global market.
AB Entertainment CEO Tae Won Lee
I strongly believe and stand by the notion that movies should place more value in its role as a piece of art before its commercial aspects. Therefore, the advent of the Webtoon industry plays a critical role in providing a new source of story-telling that paves more opportunities for movies to diversify in a technical, cultural, and artistic sense. Additionally, as an actor who mainly starred in commercial movies, I am certain my interests and investments in webtoons will make a way for this market to gain a bigger spotlight.
I hope to explore the potential of webtoon entertainment that can exert positive influence to the mass while keeping true to its roots as a unique form of art. With AB Entertainment, I plan on reaching a global scale where our company will ultimately be the forerunner in bridging the gap for webtoon artists all over the world. We humbly ask for your unconditional interest and love for the actor Yoo Ji-tae and AB Entertainment CO., Ltd.
With your support, we will give back to you all that we can, with quality and passion rivaled by no other.

As an actor, I always believed in the potential of what Webtoons could become, not only for the Korean movie industry but also for entertainment as a whole. This resonated deeply with me at a time when I wondered about the essence of movies, where I couldn’t ignore the looming industrial façade that downplayed the cinematic value and art in the business of movie production.
