Hey, come and eat.
Nope, I'm on a diet.
You're so skinny. Why a diet?
The leading candidate for the next chairman of the
US Federal Reserve System, Kate Brown, the former Secretary of the Treasury...
The leading candidate for the next chairman of the US Federal Reserve System,
Kate Brown, the former Secretary of the Treasury, has expressed an intention to resign
according to an urgent report by the foreign press on the 15th local time.
Reporter On Ma Eum at the scene?
(Episode 16: We should be different today than yesterday because we took that one step)
Reporter On Ma Eum?
- All right then... - I'll...
go after having a word with Artist Sin.
Okay.
Mr. Baek Eo Jin will wake up, right?
Of course.
He'll wake up for sure.
I didn't even get to thank him properly.
He took me in as an assistant when I couldn't even draw.
That's why...
I'm here today, thanks to him.
Should we have stopped Mr. Baek's surgery?
This surgery is Artist Baek's courage toward his
own dream of completing the dragon series and
a decision that only he himself can make.
I'm sure no one would've been able to stop him.
Artist Dae Ryuk and Ma Eum seemed to be quite shocked.
They act like they're okay, but it doesn't seem that way at all.
You, too, Hyung. Stop acting like you're okay when you're not.
When it's hard for you,
you can let yourself struggle.
He'll get well since he's a strong person.
Jun Yeong... for you to muster the courage to fight...
is to protect the people you love, right?
But how about these people you love can't work with you?
Are you okay with that?
We chose to fight to the end.
- It's all over now, right? - Yes.
Did you confess, PD Jun Yeong?
Sorry?
It looked like you were about to back then.
You couldn't do it yet, right?
If you're going to waver like that...
I just might confess first.
Artist... are you...
in love with PD Ma Eum?
Seriously...
You're unbelievable.
Since it looks like you need some coaching,
I'll recommend you a few videos...
that will help you with confessing.
Mom, I think it's about time we order the food.
- Write it down. - Okay.
Oh, my.
My goodness, welcome!
My, the dandy Oppa!
Hey, Jun Yeong, what brings you here?
Did you come to read comics?
Hey.
Do some thinking here. You think he only came to read comics?
Gosh, we were about to take a break because we don't have customers right now.
Please make yourself at home and talk.
Ma Eum, please take good care of the cafe.
- Wait, Mom... - What's the beef for?
Your temper... Try being coy, for goodness sake!
What's the matter with her?
I'm sorry. I need to finish cleaning, so take a seat.
I'm going to move.
Really?
Yeah.
Since I'm done with paying off the student loan,
I don't think I'll need a second job now.
This calls for congratulations.
Do you need anything for the move? I'll buy them all for you.
Love your coworker and love your country?
Yes, that's correct. "Love your coworker and love your country!"
Just... recommend me a comic today.
Something good to read when you're finishing a chapter of your life.
Something to read when you're finishing a chapter of your life?
Well...
that's right here.
Don't you just need someone to talk to?
That's true. Then keep.
Keep?
I'll ask you again when I'm done moving.
Please have a word with me then.
Okay, keep.
(We should be different today than yesterday because we took that one step)
(Dragon's Dream, Written and Drawn by Baek Eo Jin)
(Comic Book Cafe On)
(Neon) Director Heo Kwan Yeong will be going on a long vacation.
After that, he'll resign.
Also... it's regarding the report...
Well, CEO... Mr. Gu Jun Yeong is...
It was made anonymously.
An anonymous informant will remain anonymous
and continue to work hard for us.
I see.
Chief Jang Man Cheol.
No, Hyung. You heard it, too, right?
About me going on a vacation.
Well, we don't know if this is the end or just another beginning.
Please help me out.
Whenever or wherever we meet again,
my team and I will be a lot stronger than you think, Director.
- Hey... Jang Man Cheol will still be Jang Man Cheol- - Kwan Yeong...
setting up traps, stabbing in the back,
and falling into your own trap...
Don't live too hard like that and try treating the people...
around you with your heart.
Have a good vacation.
Some talks of the Webtoon Team collaborating with the Game Team arose.
It would be nice if you could take the lead with this.
- Me? - It's a long-term project.
You need to prepare thoroughly.
Oh, and the crucial informant who finished off Director Heo...
She says he stayed anonymous to the end.
No one has met the guy, apparently.
Is he Hong Gil Dong?
You had a lot to struggle with all this time, huh?
No, sir.
The war is not over. It just got started.
In the position where you are, Mr. Gu Jun Yeong,
please keep fighting with us as you've done so far.
Yes.
I'll do my best.
Aigoo, I think I'm gifted with good people.
Seriously...
This is the list of artists to contact first.
("Bong Bong Chocolate" Son Jeong Woo)
This is the information regarding investment.
Please take a look later as well.
Have you thought about the company name?
I do have a name in mind.
What is it?
Ginger.
- Ginger? - Yes.
Studio Ginger.
Rather than a painful ending, it would be better to think of it as a new beginning.
It's a hard suggestion to decline.
Since my beginning was also with Ginger.
Artist Baek... is still unconscious?
Yes, still.
I'm an artist, too, but I'd never be able to make the same choice.
His will toward comics is incredible.
He worked up the courage,
so I hope he achieves his dream.
Gosh...
He needs to wake up soon.
He'll wake up.
(Dragon's Dream)
Are you awake, sir?
The results of the contest have been announced.
Yes, we just need to contact the winners.
- But... - Huh?
(List of Winners) This work was selected by PD Yeong Bae and Ma Eum.
The grand prize.
H-Hold on...
Yes, ma'am?
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
(Dragon's Dream / PD On Ma Eum)
Yes, PD On.
Yes, Artist Sin. Artist Baek Eo Jin has regained consciousness.
Artist Sin?
Thank God.
What a great relief.
(Dragon's Dream)
Okay.
(Intensive Care Unit)
Honey.
Honey, are you all right?
(Comic Summary)
Oh, my, ma'am. Are you working?
Why yes, I am.
Goodness, gracious.
These works were chosen as winners of the contest,
I want to study up before the meeting with the artists tomorrow.
I see...
- It's a daily comic? - Yeah.
A story about traveling?
The story takes place at a travel agency,
but it's very realistic and lively.
It's really fun.
I guess... these days, stories that can be read comfortably are in need.
Something that's trivial and relatable.
Pretty good there.
Yes, I got quite a lot to say.
What did you just say, Webtoon Witch?
Ordinary, but not ordinary.
"Ordinary, but not ordinary..."
In other words, being ordinary is what makes it special?
Oh, yes! That's it!
- Great point there. - Yes, yes.
And trivial what?
- My story? - My own trivial story.
My own trivial...
- Right, right. - That was a very important point!
I'm pretty good...
- As expected, you indeed are Webtoon Witch. - Yes, that's me all right.
Please leave me alone, so I can focus.
You sucked the sweetness out of me.♪ ("Use me and abuse me")
- Thank you! - Bye now! What to do now...
Thanks for your help!
Sure thing!
Ordinary... nice...
Gosh, that's pretty good...
(Webtoon, thank you)
- Hi. - Hello.
Hello!
- I'll take over Artist Ruby. - Excuse me?
I always took charge of the top three contest winners' work.
You can let it go, PD On.
But I don't think that's fair.
Fair?
Does it look like I'm doing this for my benefit?
Do you think Artist Ruby's work will hit it big if you release it just as is?
It would be loved by a few manias and end there.
If you switch the gender of the lead character and add some romance,
don't you think it would be a mega-hit?
Right?
This hasn't crossed your mind, has it?
Because you couldn't come up with ideas like this is the reason Artist Gu Seul Ah chose me last time.
You know that "Trouble Travel" artist?
PD Kwon said he's taking over and declared it on PD On.
It will be different this time around.
Oh, yeah?
On what basis?
Well... um...
This time, why don't you both present your own proposal and pick whoever comes up with a better one?
Of course, as long as PD Kwon agrees to it.
Gosh, that'd hurt PD Kwon's ego-
No.
Sounds good.
Let's do that. We'll compete with our proposals.
Instead, you can't go back on your words saying you can't accept the result.
Okay. In return, you make a promise, too, PD Kwon.
That you'll accept the result.
All right.
Looking good, guys.
Editor,
(Proposal for Best Webtoon Contest Sponsored by Neon)
(Ruby = Artist Gu Seul Ah)
You have to keep your promise this time, PD Kwon.
I said I got it.
Did you ever see me speak from both ends of my mouth?
I'm not sure.
"Not sure"?
Artist Gu Seul Ah...
Artist Gu Seul Ah!
Long time, no see, PD On.
So "Trouble Travel" is... your work?
Yes.
I drew the webtoon while working at a travel agency.
My goodness.
Your pen name and the drawing style were both so different.
I had no idea!
Why didn't you tell us in advance?
Because I didn't want to rely on someone else and achieve it on my own.
More than anything, I enjoyed drawing the webtoon while working so much.
(Starsand Tour)
Seul Ah, aren't you going to eat?
Oh, I'm fine. Go ahead and eat.
We'll be back.
Enjoy your lunch.
During the time I didn't draw webtoons,
I felt bad for the dream that I had buried.
Whether it was late at night or on weekends,
rather than wanting to rest, I drew webtoons with the desire to draw and I had fun.
And that was the outcome of the process.
So I just submitted it the way it was.
Amazing, Artist Gu.
Mustering up the courage to dream again
and also coming back here...
this time for real, you're now... writing your own story, Artist Gu.
I completed the story with the desire to work with you again.
Well, well, well...
This isn't an easy thing to do.
Of course, you're... quite capable, you know.
The difficulties you had last time... was because we were running out of time.
But this time, let us take our time as we develop it
into well-made content.
Once again, let's have you rank top daily webtoon-
No.
I guarantee that you'll rank in the top three out of entire Neon Webtoons.
May I choose the PD in charge?
Of course, nothing has been decided internally...
You could choose.
But what kind of choice...
would be the best choice for you...
We'd have to give it some thought, right?
You went through a lot to create this story.
We have to make it a success no matter what, don't you think?
- No. My choice is- - Well, you don't have to tell us right this minute.
Please give it some serious thought.
It's your life we're talking about.
What if you regret your choice later after being emotional about it?
Isn't that right, PD On?
Of course, I'd love to work with you, Artist Gu.
But since it's such a precious story you created,
the PD in charge must also be decided in a serious manner.
Please give it some serious thought and you can decide after that.
What an interesting turn of events.
Artist Seul Ah must have a lot on her mind, too.
Isn't it obvious who Artist Seul Ah would choose?
- If it were me, I think I'd work with PD Kwon. - Excuse me?
It's maddening to end it after being used like that.
PD Kwon is famous for turning his project into a big hit.
You should definitely use PD Kwon this time around.
But still...
I really want to work with PD On this time.
You'll have...
another chance to work with PD On next time.
In order to gain something big, shouldn't you be a little flexible at times?
Oh, the contest winners' work this time around is all so fun.
Did you take a look?
Yeah. Out of them, was it "Trouble Travel"?
That was totally awesome.
- Did you think that, too? - Yeah.
If you clean it up a bit, it'd be a huge hit.
So, how?
If it were up to me, I'd change the lead into a man
and change it into his stories from his own world travels.
Not hearing about the traveling customers' stories.
And also have some romantic stories at some traveling spots.
You bring up some similar points as PD Kwon.
Reading webtoon is a recreational activity
and it needs a point story that could satisfy its readers.
I think most professionals would think this way.
(Change the woman character to a man)
(Melodrama by the lead character)
But if we change up the story like that,
it's really not "Trouble Travel" after all.
(Happy Travel)
(1. Era of 'healing' webtoons)
(2. Youths thirst for 'healing')
Healing...
(3. How much 'healing' contents are out there?) would be the guide...
(3. How much 'healing' contents are out there?)
Do you have that much work to do?
Yeah. There's a project I don't want to miss out on.
But you might get sick.
Don't go to bed too late.
Okay.
- Dad. - Huh?
There's this one artist...
I want her to draw work that really reflects her
but another PD says...
the artist needs to change up her flavors to be loved by more people.
If you were me, what do you think would be the better way to go?
Well?
I don't know too much about it, but
I think I would've said whatever sells better would be the answer.
But now,
happiness is about living the way you want to live.
My goodness...
Your dad is even advising you on your work now.
Mr. On, please go in.
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodnight! - Good luck.
Thanks for the juice!
All right.
Let's believe in myself.
(Emotional points in "Trouble Travel")
(Trouble Travel)
I reviewed your proposal.
(About the work)
(1. Era of 'healing' webtoons)
(2. Youths thirst for 'healing') To prove that you weren't just going by your gut feeling, you provided plenty of data.
It seems you've also figured out what the readers' current needs are.
A compliment?
I'm so sorry!
- I'm so late. - No worries.
Did you review the proposals we sent you?
Yes. You both worked so hard on preparing them.
I'm sorry, Artist Gu. We weren't trying to give you a hard time.
But the situation turned out this way.
I didn't have a hard time.
Rather than depending on someone else,
I know that it's crucial that I do a good job.
You're right about that.
All the travel creators that you had given as examples, PD On,
I was so shocked because I subscribe to all of them.
Really?
I subscribe to everyone on that list.
We must have the same tastes!
No wonder! The unique sentiment of, well...
the trendy feel of "Trouble Travel."
I totally loved that.
It felt like a healing sentiment for the people these days.
PD Ma Eum, you recognized it as I expected.
All right then...
Artist Gu...
you've thought this through, right?
Then...
may I tell you now?
Would it be...
all right if I worked with...
PD Ma Eum?
Of course.
I think it's only right that...
PD On works on "Trouble Travel."
Thank you.
I had many experiences, thanks to you, PD Kwon,
and learned how to center myself.
The reason "The Girls' Rule" was a success
was because of your abilities, PD Kwon.
Well, of course, I won't be in charge, but...
please consider the proposals I have made.
All right then, discuss further, the two of you.
After I let go of your hand last time,
I regretted it a lot.
As for my hand you let go, you could hold it again like this.
What's wrong?
PD Kwon...
Why do you think he wanted to work with me again?
I'm sure PD Kwon didn't have to work with me.
It means he recognized you.
That your work is worthy of receiving lots of love from so many.
You become greedy when you see a great piece of work.
I'm sure all the PDs could identify with that.
By chance...
Artist Gu...
If it's okay with you,
would it be okay if PD Kwon and I take care of your work together?
Pardon?
I realized a lot of things while reviewing PD Kwon's proposal.
Gosh, it sure reflected PD Kwon.
As for me, "How could I make your story more fun?"
was my focus, but
PD Kwon came up
with the answer for, "How could I make more people read this?"
To be honest, I was surprised when I saw his proposal.
I felt his affection for my work.
You have two hands, anyway.
You don't have to hold just one person's hand. Don't you think?
Aigoo!
Gosh.
How did it go?
I lost.
Well, did her youth defeat me?
Her passion, sensibilities, her approach.
They were perfect.
Geez, should we go and grab a drink?
- What in the world? - I know.
I'm craving it.
Well, I guess it'd be good if you got drunk today.
- Why? - I'll ask you to take the deputy editor position.
Gosh, look at this guy. What's wrong with you...
I won't do it. Don't ask me.
Yeong Bae,
we've stabilized in Neon now.
Don't worry about the sales figures now.
Why don't you do everything you couldn't do because you were worried about sales?
I'll let you go home on time.
Now that Ji Hyeong is gone,
who could I ask to be the deputy editor?
Gosh, forget it. No, no. Ask Du Hui to do it.
I won't do it.
You do like it.
What do you mean? What…
- You do like it. - What do you mean?
I'm happy about going drinking.
- You do like it. - What...
Excuse me, by chance…
May I speak with PD Kwon...
- Should I give you space? - No, no, no!
PD Kwon, by chance, would you like to
manage Artist Seul Ah's work with me?
- What? - This time, don't do it like last time.
I want to be happy with the process and results both.
If I could work with you,
I believe I can do that.
Do you mean it?
Yes.
Gosh...
This is why all the sunbaes fall for me.
Aigoo!
What is she saying?
- What is she saying? - She says we fall for her!
Artist Lee, you seem tired.
Have some.
You're so sensible, PD Gu.
Thank you.
Have one, too, PD Gu.
Okay.
I feel like I'm waking up now.
In this part,
when the male lead confesses his love for the female lead,
- how about he gives her a gift- - Come on now.
A gift would be too burdensome.
If you watch popular video clips of love confessions these days,
they all give a gift.
Ma Eum,
do you want to call it
our Day 1 together?
Ma Eum,
do you want to call it
our Day 1 together?
Let's call it our Day 1 together.
Our Day 1.
- Let's be in a relationship. - Shall we call it Day 1?
Would just an honest and simple confession do it?
An honest...
and simple love confession...
I hope the love confession goes well.
- What? - Our male lead.
The rest of the world knows it, but
he's fallen in love that only he's not aware of.
I think so.
Do you know...
our baby's prenatal name?
What is it?
Mandu.
Really?
I just love you so much,
our Mandu.
Ms. Han Seul...
But I won't be seeing you often like this going forward.
How come?
After Artist Na Gang Nam's company is set up,
the PD in charge will prob-
Where do you think you're running off to?
You said you were happy to be the PD in charge of "Gumiho Princess."
Did you change your mind already?
No! That's not it-
Artist Na, could I continue...
to be your PD?
Yeah! I'll continue to draw "Gumiho Princess."
Of course, I'll have to work with you.
Artist Na...
Gosh, I was so sad since I couldn't tell anyone...
I'm already so sad about Deputy Editor leaving as is.
I thought you were definitely switching your PD, so all alone, I was...
- You have weak ma eum♪. - Right... (Ma Eum means heart in Korean)
Aigoo, aigoo...
Gosh, our Mandu is crying!
- Why cry... - What to do about our Mandu... don't cry...
- It's okay. - Our Mandu.
- Not this Mandu. This Mandu. - Did you get scared?
- Console this Mandu... - Why cry!
Why are you crying?
Are you done?
Yes.
Shall we walk out together?
Sure thing.
♫ I'm walking the path where I can't see where it ends ♫
To have you...
as my first supervisor was such a good fortune for me.
That sounds like a farewell party comment.
♫ Don't cry ♫
♫ It's okay, it's going to be okay ♫
I'm not leaving just yet. I still have a few days left.
I didn't think I'd have a chance to tell you that once we get going about our work.
I'm so grateful for so many things.
And among them,
I experienced something to be most grateful for while working with our team.
What is it?
Actually,
my injury wasn't the reason I quit judo.
My body healed, but
it felt like my heart...
hadn't healed.
But after meeting and working with our team members,
I really...
felt like everything was all better.
I feel the same way.
After you and Jun Yeong joined our team,
it felt as though the wound in my heart had healed entirely.
So...
that's why you're able to leave us.
♫ That would be so nice ♫
♫ Like my mom, say that you're on my side no matter what ♫
Go on.
No, you go ahead.
I brought my car. You go on.
Then did you come all the way here with me on purpose?
Gosh, the driver is waiting for you.
Then I'll get going first.
Be careful going home, Deputy Editor.
♫ I will walk with you ♫
♫ That would work ♫
♫ You will become mine ♫
♫ I will become yours ♫
♫ Let's lean on each other ♫
I realized it...
at that moment.
That I was...
ready to jump over the last hurdle.
♫ When going gets tough, let's say that it's tough ♫
Excuse me,
could you call Eun Ji for me if she's in there?
Sure.
Eun Ji.
Someone is here for you.
(Song Eun Ji)
I'm so sorry. It took me too long, didn't it?
Have you been well?
You were still doing judo...
Whoa!
(Love your coworker and love your country)
Gosh, I can't do it...
(Love your coworker and love your country)
Oh, hey, Ma Eum.
Can I ask a favor from my coworker today?
Oh, great! Great!
"Love your coworker and love your country?"
What's up?
I feel like I've wrapped up one chapter of my life.
I needed coworker Gu here, so I called you out.
What kind of wrap-up did you do?
Actually the reason I quit judo
wasn't only because of my injuries.
Then?
There was a match where I had to win by a whole point
in order to avoid a biased judgment call.
I had to go up against
my precious friend whom others called my rival.
So that I could win with a whole point,
I focused and attacked my friend's weak, injured leg.
My friend was taken to the hospital
and as for me...
Gosh, everything turned pale. I can't really remember much about that time.
And then I suddenly came to my senses.
Then I noticed a gold medal hanging around my neck.
It must've been so tough for you.
Yeah.
I met that friend today.
After that incident, I saw her for the first time.
She just hugged me.
It took a lot of courage.
If I hadn't met all our webtoon members and hadn't spent times like this,
I don't think I would've mustered up the courage all my life.
Not sure about that.
I think the On Ma Eum that I know would've ultimately overcome the obstacle.
However way it might be.
Oh, really?
What kind of person is On Ma Eum, according to Gu Jun Yeong?
All the people in the world!
Please make sure there's no one out there who hasn't read "Animal Junction."
Well, since it's a number one comic webtoon, I guess everyone has seen it?
Of course, not only is he handsome,
the fact that Artist Oh Yun is best at his day job sure is displayed once more.
Cut! Cut…
Gosh, it's been three seconds, right?
We need time to make edits. Okay.
Dad, light!
What about the light?
Can you raise the light just a little bit?
- Like this? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This will protect the throat of a YouTuber with 50K viewers.
- Pear and bellflower tea. - Oh, my. How sensible.
- Thank you. - Stir it slightly.
- Bite down. - It's good.
But how many hours does it take to record this?
Aren't you tired?
I'm tired. It's been tough all by myself…
Shall we take a break?
You should eat and take it easy.
Aigoo, because my daughter takes after me, you're so good at focusing!
Oh, my. Nu Ri takes after me from her head to her toes.
Look at her. She takes after me. She's such a good talker.
Nah, Nu Ri takes after me!
From her looks to her personality.
Should we go out and ask the neighbors now?
That's the funniest thing you've said lately.
- My gosh... - It's funny?
I'm half-half.
Half Mom and half Dad.
If I take after you, Dad, I couldn't become a beauty YouTuber.
All the people in the world!
Please make sure there's no one out there who hasn't read "Animal Junction."
Well, since it's a number one comic webtoon, I guess everyone has seen it?
Of course, not only is he handsome,
the fact that Artist Oh Yun is best at his day job...
You should stop watching that and talk about work, Artist Oh.
Gosh, one more time...
- One more time. - What do you mean, one more time?
Should we watch it two more times?
Maybe it's because of "Animal Junction."
Readers reading "Origin of Mankind" is on the rise.
Really?
I'm happy I can gain some attention even with this.
Although it's a little late.
So I was thinking,
What if we rebooted "Origin of Mankind" through Studio Ginger?
You even said we should give up on "Origin of Mankind."
How could a PD give up on webtoon?
We should just find ways to be loved more.
That's right. It's our Artist Oh Yun!
I'm Oh Yun.
I'm totally loving "Animal Junction"!
It's totally awesome!
- Thank you. - Your autograph, please...
- What is your name? - Lee Gyu Yeon.
Please pull all the way.
Okay, again...
Okay, put it like this...
A little bit...
Put your heel on your buttocks.
Stand up as you put your weight forward.
Okay.
Straighten your arms.
Be careful. Careful…
Gosh, slowly…
Mr. Baek.
Welcome.
Come in.
Be careful.
Good, good, good.
Now that I am looking at the end of the dragon series,
I've been thinking about you a lot.
Mr. Baek…
Your sparkling dream was also so precious.
I feel like I couldn't protect that for you.
Mr. Baek, I have a new dream that I'm dreaming of now.
And that makes me happy.
Just because I woke up from a dream, it doesn't mean I can't dream the next day again.
So, rehabilitate well
And give courage to many people who are dreaming dreams.
Thank you.
All right? Thank you.
Thanks.
I hear Artist Baek Eo Jin is coming back soon.
Yes.
He must've been thinking about work while he was on his break.
I believe he'll produce a masterpiece this time.
As you promised, the webtoon team has become stronger.
Isn't that space a little too small for everyone now?
Yes!

And your character designs are not eye-catching.
Then should I revise them?
Yeah, well…
That'll be hard, but the result is important.
It looks like you'll have to do that.
I'll adjust the schedule.
Will that be okay?
Yes.
Take care of your health as your work.
Just let me know when you run into any problems.
Okay, thank you, Deputy Editor.
No, no. Just call me PD Kwon.
What?
Then I will contact you when the schedule has been adjusted.
I'm sorry I'm late!
Oh, don't worry about it!
Did you wrap up Artist Na Gang Nam's deadline okay?
Yes, Deputy Editor first time in a while-
I mean, I met with CEO Seok...
It feels weird to call him that.
- You should get used to it. - Hello!
Hello…
Are you really Artist Sin Dae Ryuk?
I didn't even recognize you!
Oh, PD On Ma Eum helped me out yesterday.
Do I look okay?
A new dandy oppa is here.
Yes, it is what I recommended, but…
You're Artist Sin Dae Ryuk, right?
Yes, it's me.
Good to see you! You look great!
(With webtoon artists) They're so nervous.
Relax and just enjoy.
Then...
Everyone, please relax! Come on, come on!
Fighting! Fighting!
All right. I will begin the live streaming now.
One, two, three.
Hello, this is Webtoon Witch.
We have three popular webtoon artists with us today.
Okay, one person at a time, please introduce yourself.
- Over there? - Oh, yes, here.
I'm Lee Wu Jin of "Full Count."
Nice to meet you!
Welcome!
I'm Sin Dae Ryuk of "Peeve Weapon."
Hello.
I'm Gu Seul Ah, who drew "Trouble Travel."
The reactions are explosive.
Starting with, "Peeve Weapon is so fun!"
They're saying awesome webtooners are all gathered in one place.
They're saying you're all so pretty and handsome!
Gosh, thank you!
They have it all, don't they? Starting with their drawing talent.
Yes, among them...
I do see a question that caught my eye.
"I want to become a webtoon artist, too.
But I'm not sure if I have the potential."
That's what the person is asking.
It must be quite worrisome.
Artist Seul Ah, I think you and I connected just now.
Would it be okay if I asked you to answer this question?
Of course, it won't be easy.
It could become so difficult that you end up hating webtoon you loved so much.
You might crumble, realizing how much you lack.
However, if there is a WebCam you want to draw,
you don't need to be afraid in advance.
If you can try hard as much as you love it,
your dream will definitely come true.
Everyone, applause.
That was so moving.
It was a heartwarming answer.
The questioner also said that was encouraging.
She also posted thank you.
This is a personal question for me.
You know the webtoon PD that you work with?
Perhaps she annoys you...
I mean, she doesn't even know how to draw.
She doesn't even know much, and it's not like she's giving you ideas.
Why does she act like a know-it-all?
Aren't you annoyed by that?
It's okay. Relax, relax.
It's just us here.
I mean…
I mean, I do know a webtoon PD.
But that webtoon PD seems so over the top.
Me…
I thought you might.
She's got a hot temper, huh?
Congratulations, Editor Jang Hye Mi!
(Studio Ginger, CEO Seok Ji Hyeong) Someone I know has a CEO title.
(Studio Ginger, CEO Seok Ji Hyeong)
This is still not enough.
In any case, that CEO Kim Young Shin...
She was involved in a scandalous incident recently.
Are you okay with that?
I've taken account of all that when I said I'll be there.
I'm good at compromising, unlike someone I know.
YoungToon is a good company.
Rather than walking out just because it's not perfect,
I'd like to manage it in a position of power.
Maintaining balance.
As expected of Jang Hye Mi.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Gosh, what do we do about PD Yu Mi's things?
I think she packed everything already.
How could you go on vacation on the day the office is moving?
Ji Hyeong said he excused her, exercising his last act of authority.
That's why I'm here helping out.
Why do you keep teasing me since earlier?
Is he trying to say I'm not part of Neon anymore?
Because you're like this, CEO.
PD Yu Mi!
I thought you were on vacation!
I can just see PD Choi badmouthing me.
I came straight from the airport.
But your vacation...
Everyone's here. Let's wrap up.
Be sure to take the lizard.
Should I take that off now?
We should.
(Let's go! To Neon Headquarters!) Should I take this down?
Take it down!
(Let's go! To Neon Headquarters!)
Right side higher. A little higher.
It's fine.
I said I'd do it, yet you had to get up there yourself.
Do we have to put this up on the wall?
It's like a cartoon.
Cartoon?
When unrealistic things happen for real in life, people say it's like a cartoon.
But those cartoon-like things that happen feels like a dream come true to me.
(Let's go! To Neon Headquarters!)
Was going to Neon Headquarters that desperate of a dream?
No…
My true dire dream is delivering good cartoons to many more people.
I get to do such worthy work with you people, and that makes me happy.
Gosh, so cringy.
- Gosh, what the... - Cringy, huh?
How could you say that out loud?
Nice…
Look at this, everyone!
A cartoon-like thing really happened!
Gosh, what's wrong with you, Hyung?
I'm allowed to act like this today.
Hyung, you're like this every day.
Oh, in any case, what will you do now?
You've achieved your dream.
There's no rule that says I only get to dream once.
I'm already dreaming my next dream.
Since we got to move to the headquarter being the top of the industry in the nation.
We should now go for number one globally.
Going global is our goal!
Great, friend! Let's go!
Hey!
Why are you doing that, too?
- Let's hurry up and go. - Okay!
- Will you carry mine? - Sure, I'll carry it.
Thank you!
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Gosh, how refreshing!
Do you really feel refreshed?
We're finally going over there.
We'll get to eat comfortably now.
How come it's so tough to cross one street?
Jun Yeong, do you remember that time?
We came to work together on our first day.
Oh! Yeah, yeah, right!
You thought I was following you that day. You had misunderstood me.
Hey, as for that... I mean, that's because...
Hey, why are you carrying so many boxes by yourself?
- Give it. Give it to me. - Forget it. Stop that.
Why? Did you think I fell for you?
I guess that must happen a lot for you, Jun Yeong.
I'm the one who fell for you.
I'm still waiting for your answer.
What kind of person is On Ma Eum, according to Gu Jun Yeong?
A good person.
And someone I like.
I like you.
I can't say when, but it just happened.
You don't have to give me an answer right now.
I'll wait even if it takes some time.
A-Answer... w-why...
Everyone creates their own stories each and every day.
Some days,
you think you've come down a wrong path
(Color your mundane daily life in neon colors with Neon Webtoon) yet it becomes your path after a few days.
I will do twice or three times better so that this team doesn't vanish.
Even if you'd be abandoned after a year?
Since we can change the future.
One may stagger yet still walks down the path that one has been
dreaming of for a long time every day little by little, all the way.
('Hope' is something you could protect)
At times, you have to make a choice at the crossroads
and come up with your own story each and every day.
Because life is a full-length novel.
What is she looking at?
Ma Eum! Hurry over!
PD On!
Where a new story begins every day.
Like Today's Webtoon.
