With the popularization of smart phones worldwide, the consumption environment for Webtoons has significantly improved and the overall value of Webtoons has cemented itself as a new source for successful business ventures.
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.
