Cheongam University Webtoon Content Department Student Publishes Short Webtoon on Webtoon Platform Comico

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Cheongam University (Acting President Oh Mi-seong) announced on the 15th that a short webtoon created by two first-year students of the Webtoon Content Department was published on the webtoon specialized platform Comico.

Students from Cheongam University's Webtoon Content Department who participated in the Webtoon Creation Academy operated by Jeonnam Content Korea Lab were selected, overcoming fierce competition from established Jeonnam authors and graduates of related departments.

The Webtoon Creation Academy of Jeonnam Content Korea Lab is an educational program that provides specialized webtoon production training for established and aspiring authors and supports the publication of short webtoons by selecting excellent works among the attendees.

Selected outstanding participants also receive a certain amount of manuscript fees.

Guided by professional webtoon artists and major professors, the students planned and developed the story of their webtoons since last October. They attended lectures at school during the day and took classes at the Webtoon Creation Academy in the evening, dedicating themselves day and night to realizing their dream of becoming webtoon artists.

Professor Ko Byung-jun, head of the Webtoon Content Department, said, “The students who participated in this educational program have solidly built the foundation of webtoon production, and we will do our best to guide them so that they can become official serialized authors by using this opportunity as a stepping stone.”

Meanwhile, Cheongam University's Webtoon Content Department has signed a business agreement with Suncheon City through the Junior College Innovation Support Project to establish a regional comic culture industry cooperation system and is working with Jeonnam webtoon artists to foster the local comic industry.
