title = "The web of story across the multiple platforms of South Korea's Cheese in the Trap",
abstract = "South Korean webtoons (or webcomics) initiate a web of story and culture. When adapted as films or television drama, a webtoon script takes new forms constant both to that script and to the narrative conventions of the target genre as the often slow-moving webtoon chapters are developed into extended narratives. Audiences thus engage with characters across multiple narrative formats and, as with the focus text, The Cheese in the Trap, participate in active online debate about fidelity, characterization and adapters{\textquoteright} decisions about reproduced webtoon content. Webtoons also frequently address social issues such as inequality and corruption within South Korea, which makes them attractive to producers of drama and film. An outcome is that each medium makes its unique contribution to social critique.",
