CATDOLL: Korean cartoonist: All online cartoons in the world are learning from us

With the increasing popularity of the Internet, many industries have begun to develop towards the Internet, giving rise to some industries that are old wine in new bottles. Online comic strips are one of the fastest-growing industries, and people are increasingly accepting this form of comics. Online comic strips are also developing very rapidly in my country. There are now many specialized comic strip websites, and many large media websites have also opened comic strip sections. However, recently a Korean cartoonist said on a Korean TV program that the Japanese comics industry is now learning from Korean online comics, and not only Japan, but other countries including China are learning from Korea.

A Korean cartoonist said on a TV program; "Online comics, as part of the third Korean Wave, have now become the main form of Korean comics. Korea is the first country in the world to see this phenomenon. Now other countries have also begun to see online comics. Korea had its own online comics as early as ten years ago. Now many countries are studying Korean online comics, and even the Japanese comics industry is learning from Korean online comics."

Korean netizens also expressed their opinions on this, and they were divided into two camps: supporters and opponents. It seems that although Korea often thinks it is very good, there are also many rational people.

Netizens who agree said: "Good, there is hope for the support of Korean comics", "It's great that online comics have become the capital for Korea to dominate the world", "The drawing is just average, but the story is still good", etc.

There were also many opposing voices: "You can't make any money by drawing online comics in Korea, which is completely different from comics in Japan. You still have the nerve to compare them with Japanese comics, don't you think your IQ is exposed?", "Really? In Japan, comic books are more popular than online comics. There is a good mass base that likes paper comics, and cartoonists don't worry too much about their lives.", "Why should Japan learn from Korean online comics? At most, it's just a little attention, not learning. Will people who can take a plane be interested in taking a car, and a Korean car..."

In fact, Korea often throws out some words like "X was first developed in Korea" and so on, so there are often jokes like "The whole universe is Korean". As for this online comic strip incident, even if this form was first developed in Korea, we will also introduce some Korean web comics, but these are just for netizens to appreciate and watch. Speaking of "learning", generally there is no such thing. I wonder what readers think? Let's discuss it.
