Description: WBTN WEBTOON Entertainment January 17, 2026
WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: WBTN) runs a global storytelling platform that lets creators publish web-comics and web-novels across the U.S., Korea, Japan and other markets, delivering content through web and mobile apps. Founded in 2005 and based in Los Angeles, the company is a subsidiary of South Korean internet giant NAVER Corp and is classified under the Interactive Media & Services sub-industry.
Recent data shows the platform reached roughly 90 million monthly active users in 2023, with revenue climbing to about $117 million-a year-over-year increase of ~30 % driven by higher ad spend and expanding micro-transaction sales. The business benefits from two macro trends: (1) continued mobile-first consumption of digital entertainment in Asia-Pacific, and (2) growing demand for licensed IP adaptations (e.g., TV series, games) that monetize popular titles beyond the app.
