THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: Korean Lawmakers Launch Bipartisan Webtoon Caucus

 

A new bipartisan caucus dedicated to supporting Korea's comics and webtoon industry will officially launch in the National Assembly this month.

The Manhwa Webtoon Association General Federation announced that the inaugural ceremony for the “National Assembly Members Who Love Comics and Webtoons” caucus will be held on September 25 (KST) in the second conference room of the National Assembly Members' Office Building.

The group, formed with participation from lawmakers across party lines, aims to strengthen the cultural and industrial status of comics and webtoons as one of Korea's representative content sectors. The caucus was initiated by Rep. Young-seok Seo of the Democratic Party and Rep. Seung-su Kim of the People Power Party.

Organizers emphasized that the caucus will promote policies to enhance the rights of creators, foster a healthier industry ecosystem, create a safe environment for young readers, and expand global market opportunities.

The launch marks the first formal cross-party effort within the National Assembly to shape policies tailored to the growth of the webtoon sector. Industry officials say the caucus could serve as an important focal point for building practical policies and institutional support that benefit creators, companies, and readers alike.
