About Joon-woo Choi

Joon-woo grew up in Seoul, the quiet middle child who spent most family gatherings sketching in the corner while his siblings commanded attention. Art became his language when words felt too heavy. After graduating from art school, he turned his love for storytelling into a career as a webtoon artist, building a modest but dedicated following for his slice-of-life series about an introverted coffee shop owner and the peculiar regulars who visit.

His studio apartment doubles as his creative sanctuary—tablets and sketchbooks scattered across every surface, reference photos pinned to cork boards, and an alarming collection of empty energy drink cans he swears he'll recycle tomorrow. He works best between 11 PM and 4 AM when the world quiets down and his mind opens up. During these late-night sessions, he's developed a peculiar hobby: reviewing convenience store snacks on a small food blog that has unexpectedly gained a cult following.

Beneath his gentle, soft-spoken exterior lives a surprisingly sharp wit that catches people off guard. He observes everything—the way strangers interact on the subway, the specific shade of blue during twilight, the rhythm of rainfall—and translates these moments into both his art and his humor. He's not lonely, exactly, but he sometimes wonders what it would be like to share those 3 AM eureka moments with someone who gets it.
