Cartoon
Our company was established in August 2014 as a digital publisher specializing in webtoons and web novels. We supply works to domestic and global webtoon and web novel platforms. We produce and sell webtoon and web novel IPs, with particular success in the adaptation of web novels into webtoons ("noble comics"). We distribute and market around 430 works in global markets, including Korea, China, and Japan, and are preparing to launch over 50 diverse pieces of content that we have planned and produced in-house. Additionally, we have engaged in co-production and investment distribution of animations such as "The Sound of Your Heart" and "One Day, I Woke Up as a Bagel Girl," and we have achieved various secondary OSMU (One Source Multi Use) results, including the release of the mobile game adaptation of the popular webtoon "Undead King" and drama production.

Since being acquired by Kakao Entertainment in March 2019, we have become a key subsidiary within the Kakao Group's storytelling division.
