True. In Korea, we never say Japanese comics, manga, but just say Japanese manhwa. It is only a generic term for comics/cartoons.

Still people can say "reading manhwa" when they read webtoon. Webtoon is still manhwa. I also say I read 만화 to my friend who read on Naver and Daum, who also often say 만화

You have only seen a small part of manhwa and you are trying to define what manhwa is. Way to go, sir. Keep doing it. You may at the end gain a small followers

Still in Korea, people often say "read manhwa" on (webtoon platform). Webtoon is just a digital version of manhwa but not separate thing.
