Creepy Korean Comics That Will Spook You Out With Their Unexpected Twists

by Sophia

While Japan has manga, Korea has Webtoons. Webtoons are digital comics, and come from the combination of "worldwide web" and cartoon—and it's no wonder that it has quickly become popular with the emergence of smartphones all around the world.

These comics are made to read by scrolling down on mobile phones, and in contrast to mangas, the panels are a lot bigger, frame by frame, and come with a more simple and readable text. Not only that, Webtoons comes in full color!

Naver Webtoon has created LINE Webtoon for international readers to read every comic in English, and there are even options to read the comics in other languages. Eastern artists are known for their peculiar and impressive storytelling skills, and in order to make the experience enjoyable for everyone, these stories are translated either officially or by fans.

What you are about to see is a series of short horror comics made by Ko Sai, a quick read that involves horror-esque situations that will make you unsettled or creeped out. The Webtoon you are about to read is named "Short Horror" and it consists of quick creepy comics with unexpected twists!

Webtoons will probably skyrocket in popularity even more in the future, because of the convenience and enjoyment it gives right at the tip of your thumb. Mangas are still legendary though, but you can't deny Webtoons also got style!

Take a look at "Short Horror" below.

This one's entitled "The Wig".

What makes Webtoons so unique is their format, as they are read from top to bottom instead of left to right. This is because of their early exposure to the Korean internet portal called Naver, which is kind of like Yahoo.

Naver hosts the country's emails, news, internet searches, and homepages, and these homepages are where webtoons found a home and gained prominence. That being said, South Korean bloggers realized that web browsing relied on scrolling downwards or upwards, hence, comic creators began to format their stories into ones that can be read from top to bottom for convenience.

Now, take a look at this one.
