Before I write down the names of webtoon portals, I will mention two things. The first thing I'm going to mention is that there may be more of these portals than these are the ones I've come across. Second, I only write about those who profit from it. Because translation groups are also considered a webtoon portal in a sense. If we add everything, we can't get out of it. In addition, the following portals act according to copyright. So they're doing perfectly legal work. And to sum it up roughly, most webtoon portals produce webtoon. In other words, instead of translating an existing webtoon into their own language, they agree with writers and illustrators and draw webtoons for money.
Naver Webtoon (Line Webtoon)
Languages: English, Chinese
Address: comic.naver.com/en/
Description: almost all of Naver's popular webtoons are available on the site. It also partners with Naver Line. So if there are people among us who read webtoon in English, they can install and read the app on their smartphones. Although it is visually very different from the original Naver portal, I think it is the portal with the most beautiful placement outside of Korean broadcasters. Also, because there is a company like Naver behind it, it is here in the form of the most professional webtoon.
Tapastic
Languages: English
Address: http://tapastic.com/
Description: Tapastic is a US, Korean co-produced webtoon portal. Previously unpublished in English, even Korean Koreans did webtoon can be found as usually they're turning the webtoon stuck on the side (I think the copyright for the publication Daum and Nate since their English Naver Webtoon webtoonlar are trying to find good tapastic). The biggest feature of this portal is that they care about amateur writers and illustrators. And so a whole bunch of amateur jobs, a portal full of ridiculous webtoons. You can also draw webtoon and earn money. A few of the works of local (US/Canadian) authors are too high-quality to search Koreans ' webtoons. Even more beautiful ones can come out (for example: Fisheye Placebo, GhostBlade...).
TappyToon
Languages: English
Address: http://www.tappytoon.com/
Description: it seems to me that nothing will come out of this webtoon initiative. It's been months, they still haven't opened the portal. They're going to release Automata when they open.
Delitoon
Languages: French
Address: http://www.delitoon.com/
Description: The number of webtoons is not considered small. There are only two Korean touched webtoons. The others are out of the hands of the French. What makes this portal special is that you can also get webtoons online in volumes (albums) on the portal. I think delitoon's webtoons are well above average in drawing quality. But more than half of the webtoons are drawn not in the Far Eastern drawing style, but by digitizing the classic French comic (Francophone) style.
Bagu (Okubi)
Languages: Turkish
Address: bagu.com / win https://www.okubi.com
Description: since it is published on the Internet, Bagu's comics can also be considered webtoon. But compared to the above portals, the number of series is very small (2). Because it is a Turkish initiative, I could not add Bagu to this list. I don't like the drawings of the series. Although they say they have manga-style drawings, I think the drawings have nothing to do with the drawings in the manga. They have the drawings we see in Western-style comics. But he saves what he lost from the drawing from the story, and it immediately stands out that the comics are out of the hands of one of us.
This entry was posted on September 30, 2014. I reviewed and edited this post on February 19, 2019. But when I updated this post, I almost didn't add any information. I want the content of this post to remain in 2014. Korean and Korean language webtoon portals in languages other than the current list of webtoon portals can be found in our list called list of webtoon portals.
