In particular, actor and 2PM member Lee Junho recently inflated his stardom with his drama comeback "The Red Sleeve Cuff," which concluded in January. Now, he is introduced as the first to promote the super webtoon project.

It began under the slogan of discovering imaging IP's in all directions. It boosted the trend of webtoon with workability and popularity such as "Itaewon Class," "Space Sweepers," and more.
