"The rise of webtoons has fundamentally altered the Korean cultural market due to the growth of transmedia storytelling-the flow of a story from the original text to various other media platforms-and the convergence of cultural content and digital technologies. Understanding Korean Webtoon Culture analyzes webtoons through the lens of emerging digital cultures and illuminates snack culture and binge-reading as new forms of digital culture that webtoon platforms capitalize on to capture shifting cultural consumption"-Provided by publisher"-- Provided by publisher.
