By supporting the creation and development of next-generation creators through its adoption in educational settings in Korea and around the world, the company aims to further increase its brand awareness and expand its user base.

### Comment from Ms. Kim Eun-ji, Instructor at YLAB ACADEMY

"CLIP STUDIO PAINT is the app optimized for Webtoon and illustration production among many graphic tools. It comes with affordable costs and innovative functions that enhance production convenience. Another deciding factor was the continuous functional improvements based on user feedback through regular updates.

Because CLIP STUDIO PAINT is multifunctional, it may seem a bit difficult for students who are using it for the first time, but they seem satisfied with its convenience and high quality through our lectures. In fact, we have received many positive responses from students, including inquiries about how to purchase and which version they should choose so they can use it individually."
