Exploring the Wide World of Webtoons With David J. Lee and Brandon Chen


Webtoon Entertainment chief David J. Lee and creator Brandon Chen unpack the rising popularity of webtoons on Variety's 'Strictly Business' podcast.

Indeed, the numbers tell the tale, as Lee illustrates on the latest episode of Variety podcast “ Strictly Business.” The Los Angeles-based company is a driving force in the production and distribution of webtoons, which are a blend of manga and graphic novels presented in a blog-like virtual scroll. Imagine a Gen Z consumer, in their palm of their hand on a mobile device with a flick of their fingers, can scroll and in a fraction of a moment, see just enough imagery, a few words to tell them where a story is going.” New episodes debut every Wednesday and can be downloaded at Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Google Play, SoundCloud and more.
