Kim Yeon-woo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like many artists, she has loved to draw and create comics since she was a child. In school, she often scribbled on the margins of textbooks or on the bench, so that teachers would not notice. Over time, her passion deepened and she wanted to share the joy of drawing with others, which is why she began to publish her works on social media. It was these drawings that gave her the opportunity to debut as an artist as soon as she reached adulthood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She began her career as a young adult, and although there were many ups and downs along the way, it was her persistent desire to create comics that led her to publish the book \u201cThe Omniscient Point Of View Of An Unrequited Love\u201d. She is immensely grateful to the world for being able to continue to draw comics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
