In US (and Western Countries), people call Internet Comics as Web-Comics.
Webtoon & Web-Comics are made for Internet, however somewhat different.
* Difference from Web-Comics.
(1) Scroll-based.
Most Webtoons are using very long scroll, to use Mouse Wheel / Page Down key to proceed. Most Web-Comics fit into 1 page, and even if it needs scroll, doesn't go down too much.
(2) Portal-based.
Not sure you know, Korean Internet is very stick to big Portal, as Naver / Daum. So most famous Webtoons are published in those Portal. Web-Comics are usually independent, published to own homepage / blog, and that could be one of important difference. (Some Webtoons are published to personal page / communities, however.)
