How Popular are webcomics in Korea?
I’ve talked before about how big webcomics are here… how the local Google-equivalents host and promote comics, and pay salaries to the top webcartoonists. How the strips are constantly being turned into movies and tv series. But I never had a more singular image of just how big they were until this week.
I was in a Love Hotel. The super fancy kind, with an in-room hot tub overlooking the ocean, and a private theater. When I turned on the home theater, there were three options. Movies, TV, and webcomics.
Porn was not even among the first set of options. That was several clicks through the menu. That means that a large enough group of people will come to this place, look at all their options, and say “Baby, let’s snuggle up in bed and read some webcomics on the big screen.”Maybe I should look into getting one of my webcomics translated into Korean…
…
g’damn
…Well, we’re already translating into Swedish…might as well go for Korean too…
