“Light Shop,” the webtoon behind the Disney+ original series of the same name, is enjoying a dramatic surge in popularity following the success of its adaptation.

After episodes 5 and 6 of Disney+’s “Light Shop” were released on December 11, Kakao Entertainment – the platform that distributes the webtoon – reported a 187x increase in views of the original webtoon on Kakao Webtoon and Kakao Page. According to Kakao Entertainment’s analysis, the webtoon’s revenue increased 159 times during the same period from December 11 to Sunday.

This renewed interest reflects the impact of Kang Full’s previous webtoon series “Moving,” which moved to Disney+ and received global acclaim last year. During the same period this month, “Moving” saw views double and revenue triple. Both Light Shop and Moving were created by Kang Full and exist in a shared universe with overlapping characters.

“Following the release of the Disney+ original series ‘Light Shop,’ there has been a resurgence in Kang Full’s binge-reading webtoons ‘Kang Full Universe,'” a Kakao Entertainment official said in a press release.

The webtoon “Light Shop” explores the mystery of a lighting shop frequented by people on the threshold between life and death. As the characters’ personal stories unfold, the initial atmosphere of fear gradually transforms into a deeply humanistic narrative that showcases the storytelling of Kang, known for his variety of successful webtoons that tell poignant stories about humanity.

All episodes of Disney+’s Light Shop are now available to stream, while the original webtoon can be accessed on Kakao Webtoon and Kakao Page.
