[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 3rd that it has been selected as the operating institution for the 2021 Webtoon Creation Experience Center Establishment and Operation Project and will receive 20 million KRW in national funding this year as well, following last year.

This project aims to expand the base of the webtoon market by operating specialized educational courses on webtoons, a core content for the MZ generation, and to support local residents in becoming webtoon creators.

The courses will be held at the small library of Andong Cultural House in Gimhae.

This year, in addition to the regular programs of the experience center such as the basic webtoon class and emoticon class, and themed exhibitions, a ‘Youth Webtoon Job Experience’ program visiting schools will also be operated to provide more citizens with opportunities to create webtoons.

For more detailed information about the courses, please contact the Talent Development Support Division at City Hall.

The head of the Talent Development Support Division of Gimhae City said, “Through the operation of the Webtoon Creation Experience Center, we hope that young people will deeply understand the webtoon field they have vaguely dreamed of and gain opportunities to create as beginner artists.”
