In Korea, the term webtoon is used by multiple brands to refer to any and all webcomics.

With that said, Webtoon is super popular in Korea (or the entire world) right now, sort of dominating over Manhwa. (There is still Manhwa being published online)

Wait, so... is "webtoon" is specifically referring to webcomics printed in the vertical, "mobile-friendly" format while manhwa are Korean comics in the "standard" comic page format, whether printed or online webcomic? Or are traditional-format Korean webcomics considered both mahnwa and webtoon?
