KakaoPage (Korean: 카카오페이지; RR: KakaoPeiji) is a monetized content platform optimized for mobile devices, launched by Kakao Corp. in 2013 and currently owned by its subsidiary Kakao Entertainment.[1][2] The service launched on April 9, 2013, as a digital content marketplace, allowing brands and individuals to create and distribute visual, audio, and written content such as webtoons, manhwa, and genre fiction. It entered the Indonesian market in 2018[3] and Taiwan in 2020.[4]
KakaoPage is famous in South Korea for its "free if you wait" system that allows readers to view one episode of a webtoon or web novel for free if they wait for a certain amount of time after reading.
