82 Expert Lectures Covering Creative Methods, Law, Psychology, and Health

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Kakao Creative Foundation announced on the 14th that it has made free "Online Creative Academy" content available to the public. Anyone can take the courses for free without restrictions through the Kakao Creative Foundation website, and they can access it by downloading the mobile app via PC or the website.

The lectures are composed of a total of 82 sessions across five categories: webtoons, web novels, law, health, and psychology. In the webtoon and web novel categories, about 10 instructors, including active writers and comic critics, cover detailed points to build fundamental skills related to creation, such as working tools, storyboard writing, material discovery methods, and capturing angles for different situations. In addition to basic lectures, practical tips drawn from the experiences of active writers are provided, including the most frequently asked questions and answers encountered while working as writers.

It is notable that experts from various fields such as lawyers and medical specialists provide lectures on law, health, and psychology tailored specifically for content creators. The law lecture category includes detailed sections on law, taxation, and labor education. It offers thorough explanations to help creators handle various real-life situations, such as important clauses to consider when drafting contracts, basic concepts of copyright, remedies for copyright infringement of works, labor laws, and tax treatment of freelance business income. The psychology lectures, given by active writers and psychiatrists, teach mental management methods to flexibly cope with issues like malicious comments or stress caused by work. In the health category, a rehabilitation medicine specialist provides guidance on managing the spine, back, and neck for creators who need to work sitting for long hours.

The Kakao Creative Foundation’s "Online Creative Academy" plans to continue adding lectures next year, including advanced courses in the webtoon and web novel categories, following this year’s offerings.
