How come they just do contract work and produce no animated content of their own?

They do, but what you really mean is “why aren’t they as productive as Japan”, the answer to that is mainly genetic but also all their national will to power is currently spent on making phones.
As I understand it, Koreans will do contract animation if they can make money from it, but they tend to regard cartoons as being juvenile so they don't produce anything of their own.
Their animation industry is only targeted for very young audiences because of financial reasons, so talented animators don't looking for jobs in Korea. There are some tryouts for new challenge. But they have been always financially failed since they tried to catch both kids and mature audiences. So movie itself turns out to be little silly for mature audience but too serious for kiddies.
Their comics market is broken because people are so get used to read comics without paying thanks to Webtoons. The only well selling printed comics are about educational ones, because Korean parents want to buy their kids books that are 'educational'
Most of the people still thinks comics and animations are shit for babies so they didn't care to do something about this situation. Yes, it sucks. I guess Japan wins this time.
This. Unless you count Kakao emojis as animation adults just don't care
Native gook here
short answer : the market is just not there
You 300 million ~ billions of English, Spanish speaking fuckers should appreciate just how big of a deal just the size of the seeding-plane and reaching the critical mass is.
Niche entertaintment like semi-adult-semi-children kino animation requires some breathing room for the creators and big and diverse enough market to tank some flops. We don't have that shit anymore. Arguably we never had.
Old things: Japanese ripoff
New things: Cash grabber for kids
Guess I'll have to settle for the fact they actually make good movie once or twice a year.
They don't have anyone to outsource their animation to.
I mean aren't the Korea's just Nazi can fiction and the Korean language literally Klingon stick figures? Bitch, YOU were the who taught me Asian fonts were Moon Speak!
All we can do is keep cheering for their dark desires.
Ironically Korean animation companies are famous for suing domestic pornfags who make lewds of their characters for fun. Several of them went to jail actually.
So please, make lewds of Korean animation characters, westernfags.
the last time korea had a comic industry they decided it is devil work and they publicly burned the books so there you go
Porns are illegal to make and distribute. They also protect right of the fictional loli characters from manga and anime. So Lolifags actually go to jail in Korea.
I wonder where all those subverted nature gone, hmm?
Koreanon here, and the answer is simple.
1. They don't have a good story to make one.
2. The market isn't big enough.
The Korean audiences are not interested in cartoon, not even literacy. They have the skills, they try to make 'good' cartoons, but the storytelling is mostly bad.
About the market, if you ask for the cartoon shows, I don't know. But movies, if it isn't Disney the audience don't even care.
There are exceptions though. Like Daisy: A Hen into the Wild
Also I've never seen anybody that went jail for making lewds.
The creators 'warn' you to stop the lewdpostings, they 'warn' you that they'll sue, but I've never heard that anybody actually got caught by making lewds. So it's just a rumor.
Japan is like Renaissance Italy. Anime/Manga is like the New Renaissance Art.
Who is the lower right?
Koreanfags are born and bred to slave away in animation sweatshops for western productions. They don't have the brains to come up with their own stuff.
