Description: WBTN WEBTOON Entertainment November 14, 2025
WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: WBTN) runs a cross-border storytelling platform that lets creators publish and monetize web-comics and web-novels via web and mobile apps. Headquartered in Los Angeles and owned by South Korea’s NAVER Corp., the service operates in the United States, Korea, Japan and other international markets, serving a community that discovers, creates, and shares serialized visual and text-based content.
As of FY 2023 the company reported revenue of roughly $141 million, up about 45 % year-over-year, driven by a 30 % increase in monthly active users (≈150 million) and a growing share of subscription revenue (now ~20 % of total). Mobile-first consumption and rising global internet penetration remain the primary economic tailwinds, while the broader Interactive Media & Services sector is benefitting from higher ad spend and the “creator-economy” boom that fuels user-generated content platforms.
