Live The Design Process

I am working on a webtoon called ‘Ajae Ajae Vara Ajae’ in my spare time, aiming to debut on Naver Webtoon. The title roughly translates to ‘Hey Old Boy’ in English. ‘Ajae’ is a Korean term that means ‘uncle’ or ‘old boy.’

I consider myself an ‘old boy’ and have reached an age where society labels me as such. This webtoon is an omnibus comedy, with each episode having a different theme. Given my somewhat old-fashioned sense of humor, I thought the title was fitting.

In fact, ‘Ajae Ajae Vara Ajae’ is a twist on the title of a Korean film from the 80s-90s. It was a Buddhist film, but I gave it a humorous spin.
So far, I’ve drawn a total of 10 episodes. It’s been quite a while since I started, but I haven’t been able to update it regularly.

Various other tasks have taken up my time, leaving me with less opportunity to work on the webtoon. As a result, it’s been neglected for about two years now. I need to complete around 60 episodes to be eligible for submission.

The webtoon covers a variety of episodes. For example, it includes twists on classic fairy tales, and parodies of Superman and Terminator, among others. Comedy webtoons require a lot of unexpected elements, which makes them particularly challenging to create.
I don’t know when this webtoon will be completed, but I often imagine it becoming a big hit once it’s done. I try to remain positive, but I’ve noticed that as I age, I tend to take things more seriously. The important thing is the challenge itself, rather than the success or failure.

It’s a bit disheartening to realize that I now think more about success or failure than the challenge.
