HIVE visited Universitas Pakuan on May 26, 2026 through its “HIVE Bee-Yond the Road” program. During this session, HIVE introduced the theme “From Cartoon to Webtoon” to help students understand the structural and visual differences between cartoons and webtoons.
Exploring the World of Webtoons with HIVE
The event began with an introduction to HIVE and the webtoon industry, followed by a discussion about the different visual approaches used in cartoons and webtoons. The session was led by two HIVE artists, who also shared their experiences working in the creative industry.
One of the most engaging parts of the event was the live drawing session, where the artists demonstrated their drawing process in real time. Beyond simply watching, many participants actively followed along by sketching from their own seats while listening to the explanations throughout the session.
The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session. Students enthusiastically asked questions about career opportunities in the creative industry, HIVE’s recruitment process, and the selection tests required to enter the professional webtoon industry.
Students’ Enthusiasm Reflects the Growing Potential of Young Creative Talent
The strong enthusiasm shown by participants throughout the event highlighted how many aspiring artists still have limited exposure to information about the webtoon industry and the career opportunities within it. Their active participation during the sharing and discussion sessions reflected a growing curiosity toward the professional creative industry.
Through “HIVE Bee-Yond the Road,” HIVE not only came to share industry knowledge and experiences, but also to provide new insights and valuable information for students interested in exploring the world of webtoons and digital creative industries.
