The cast of SBS’s “Today’s Webtoon” shared interesting facts about their characters!
A Korean remake of the popular 2016 Japanese series “Sleepeeer Hit!” “Today’s Webtoon” is a new SBS drama set against the backdrop of South Korea’s competitive webtoon industry. It will tell the story of On Ma Eum (Kim Sejeong), a former judo athlete who joins Neon Webtoon’s editorial department as a new employee and struggles to become a true editor amid South Korea’s competitive webtoon industry.
Kim Sejeong shared that On Ma Eum’s MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is ENFJ, reflecting her character’s positive attitude as she leads her co-workers on any stage. Even after giving up her dream of becoming an Olympic gold medalist, she dreams again of becoming a great webtoon editor. Ma Eum’s favorite webtoon character is San Ha from Na Kang Nam’s (Im Chul Soo) “Gumiho Princess” webtoon. Kim Sejeong shared, “It is the project that Ma Eum spent her 20 years with, and she is the character that she received comfort from whenever she experienced depression while practicing judo.”
Choi Daniel plays Seok Ji Hyung, an unpredictable deputy editor with an unreadable poker face who becomes a reliable mentor for On Ma Eum. The actor shared that he analyzed Seok Ji Hyung as an introverted figure. Choi Daniel commented, “Since he is the opposite of me because I am extroverted, I am paying more attention to portray his inner feelings and understand them more carefully.” The actor added, “He likes sushi and hot tea,” and revealed that unlike Seok Ji Hyung’s professional image, he also has a clumsy side, such as being bad with directions.
Nam Yoon Su plays Goo Joon Young, who joins the editorial department of the webtoon alongside On Ma Eum. The actor analyzed the character of him to have the MBTI of ISTJ. His realistic and logical nature explains why he will clash with the bright and optimistic On Ma Eum. Nam Yoon Su shared, “[Goo Joon Young] he feels proud when he sees things well organized. He likes tea and coffee, and he actually likes snacks. He prefers outfits with clean solid colors rather than outrageous clothes.”
“Today’s Webtoon” premieres on July 29 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available with English subtitles on Viki.
