(Nasdaq: WBTN), a global entertainment company and home to some of the world\u2019s largest storytelling platforms, today announced a major expansion of its Creator Programs in 2026, offering more tools, support, and new opportunities to build a career on WEBTOON. Rolling out throughout 2026, WEBTOON\u2019s new suite of Creator support initiatives will include expanded monetization opportunities, new convention and event support, and new educational programming for career development. WEBTOON\u2019s new Creator initiatives will kick off with a Creator Residency program, officially launching in Q1 2026.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCombining hands-on support, opportunities to connect with fellow storytellers, and new ways to grow creatively and professionally, WEBTOON\u2019s expanded Creator Programs will empower Creators to take their work and careers to the next level. In 2026, WEBTOON will launch new and improved monetization for CANVAS Creators to earn money from their work, alongside a new dashboard that will make it easier for Creators to understand their series performance. More details about new monetization and dashboard features will be shared in early 2026.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo help Creators get closer to their fandoms, WEBTOON will increase its investment in Creators at key industry events, bringing more Creators to major US conventions where they can meet and grow their fandoms. For the first time, WEBTOON will also expand its on-the-ground presence at fan conventions in select international markets outside the US, Korea, and Japan, hosting Creator meet-ups and offering portfolio reviews for international Creators in Europe and Southeast Asia.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo better support Creators, in 2026, WEBTOON\u2019s Creator Care teams will start digital Open Houses for creators who are new to the platform. Creators can meet with WEBTOON\u2019s Creator Care and Editorial teams to discuss their goals and how to make the most of their WEBTOON journey. WEBTOON will also launch a redesigned Creator Resource Hub, where a new video series will highlight creator experiences and success stories, offering practical tips and inspiration from some of WEBTOON\u2019S most accomplished creators.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCreators are the heart of WEBTOON, and everything we do begins with their passion, their stories, and their trust,\u201d said <b>Yongsoo Kim, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global WEBTOON at WEBTOON Entertainment<\/b>. \u201cAs we look ahead to 2026, we\u2019re expanding our investment in Creators at every phase of their journey, from emerging talent to established voices. We\u2019ve spent 2025 listening to Creators all over the world, piloting new programs that can help Creators achieve their goals, and we\u2019re thrilled to expand these initiatives in 2026. Our goal is simple: to give creators the support, tools, and opportunities they need to build the careers they dream of on WEBTOON.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Introducing the WEBTOON Creator Residency Program and Korea Trip<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWEBTOON\u2019s revamped Creator Programs will kick off with a new Creator Residency. Held twice a year, the Creator Residency program will invite Original Creators from the English-language service to a two-week in-person workshop at the company\u2019s LA headquarters. Groups of up to nine Creators will attend an immersive development experience offering unprecedented access to WEBTOON\u2019s editorial resources and expertise. Residency participants will work closely with WEBTOON editors in dedicated story-building sessions, attend development workshops, and meet with teams across the company for a deeper look at WEBTOON\u2019s offerings and ecosystem.
