In the official Twitter account for the WEBTOON platform, it was announced that five works will inspire live-action adaptation projects in series and film formats, as well as animated series. The announcement did not reveal which works will inspire each type of adaptation, or if the formats apply to all five (unlikely), however, three of them had already confirmed the production of animations a few months ago.
Omniscient Reader
It is a webtoon written by UMI and illustrated by Sleepy-C, and being an adaptation of an original sing N song story, this webtoon did not confirm what format it will be adapted to. The synopsis is described as follows:
At the time, Dokja had no idea. He had no idea that his favorite web novel "Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse" was going to come to life and that he would become the only person who knew how the world would end. Nor did he have any idea that he would end up becoming the protagonist of this novel turned into reality. Now Dokja will embark on a journey to change the course of history and save humanity once and for all.
Yumi's Cells
It is a webtoon written and illustrated by Donggeon Lee (who is also the author of A Bittersweet Life), Studio N had already confirmed the production of an adaptation to full-length animation film by SIDUS Animation studios. The synopsis is described as "a story of Yumi and her brain cells".
Nano List
A webtoon written and illustrated by Songah Min (who is also author of The Girl Downstairs), Studio N had already confirmed the production of an animation project by Studio Gale. The synopsis is described as follows:
Milo lives in a world where interacting with androids is completely normal. And now he lives with two androids built by his sister. How safe is it to live with androids who possess superhuman strength? Why did his sister give him a "bodyguard android"? It looks like he's about to find out the hard way.
Your Letter
It is a webtoon written and illustrated by Hyeon A Cho, Studio N had already confirmed the production of an animation project (without confirming format) by LICO studios. The synopsis is described as follows:
Sori is a special girl: kind, loving and principled beyond her young age. Unfortunately, these are not the personality traits that define a girl in high school, so Sori is constantly bullied mercilessly for defending weak people, becoming the target herself. To escape the bullying, she transfers to a new school where the same problems begin to develop again, or so she thought, until a mysterious trail of letters leads her on a quest for magical treasure in a world hidden beneath the surface of her new school. The route of the letters is described by an anonymous guardian angel, whose mission seems to be to provide a peaceful life for Sori.
The Remarried Empress
It is a webtoon written by Alphatart and illustrated by Sumpul, this is one of the works that did not confirm the format of its adaptation, so it could be a live-action or animation project. The synopsis is described as follows:
Navier Ellie Trovi was a perfect empress in every way: intelligent, brave and socially adept. She was kind to her subjects and dedicated to her husband. Navier was perfectly content to live out the rest of her days as the wise empress of the Eastern Empire. That is, until her husband brought home a mistress and demanded her divorce. "I accept this divorce... and request the approval of my new marriage". In a shocking twist, Navier remarries another emperor and retains her title and childhood dream of being empress. But how did things come to this?

None of the three studios listed are established in Japan, so they are not anime adaptations, but adaptations to animation in general.
