The 'Wait and Free' model was also introduced in the Japanese market (Piccoma), where serialized webtoons achieved great success in the Japanese digital comics market, which is mainly focused on single-volume books. As of 3Q20, transaction volume reached 130 billion KRW, showing explosive growth with YoY +247% and QoQ +44%." He set Kakao's target price at 446,000 KRW.
