Why go

Bucheon International Comics Festival (BICOF) is one of Asia's longest-running webtoon and comics festivals, hosted in Bucheon — the home base of many major Korean studios and the city of cinema. The festival assembles publishers, indie comic artists, webtoon platforms, and international guests for exhibitions, panels, autograph sessions, and a large open market. Special attention goes to webtoons, which Korea has effectively defined globally, with platform booths, creator talks, and live drawing showcases. For visitors interested in how Korean comics moved from print magazines to the world's leading mobile webtoon ecosystem, this is the most direct and concentrated event in the country to engage with that trajectory.
