Naver Webtoon has entered into an exciting partnership with the U.S.-based mobile learning platform, Duolingo. This collaboration will introduce a new webtoon series titled 'Duo Unleashed!' that will feature Duo, Duolingo's owl mascot, across five engaging episodes available on Naver Webtoon's English service.
Aimed at blending creative storytelling with educational content, the partnership leverages Duolingo's wide-reaching popularity, with over 100 million users worldwide, to captivate a diverse global audience. As part of the collaboration, Naver Webtoon and Duolingo plan to host joint events at New York Comic Con from October 17 to 20, featuring fan meet-and-greets and exclusive merchandise.
Lee Sin-ok, who leads Naver Webtoon's North America service, expressed confidence that this partnership will lead to the creation of more innovative and engaging stories on their platform. This collaboration marks a strategic initiative in expanding Naver Webtoon's creative content portfolio.
