[Featured Stocks] Webtoon Stocks Rally... Expectations for K-Content Powerhouse

Webtoon-related stocks such as Mr. Blue, YLAB, Finger Story, and Suseong Webtoon are all showing strong performance. It appears that the news of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential primary candidate, visiting a webtoon-specialized library in Daegu Metropolitan City on the 18th is influencing the stock prices. It is reported that Lee will express his ambition to make Korea a powerhouse of K-content and soft power through on-site meetings with webtoon companies and artists.

At 11:38 a.m. on the 17th, Mr. Blue was trading at 1,450 won, up 26.53%.

Finger Story is rising more than 15%, and YLAB and Suseong Webtoon are also showing upward trends.

Suseong Webtoon supplies content not only domestically but also to various overseas platforms in North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe, and has secured high competitiveness in the global market through a One Source Multi Use (OSMU) strategy based on its own IP. The fact that overseas sales account for more than 85% is a particularly notable strength amid the industrialization trend of K-webtoon exports. Suseong Webtoon is expected to achieve an operating profit of 17.8 billion won this year.
