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.

Each project is considered an example of confirming the possibility of an IP (Internet Protocol) second creative project by establishing synergy in combining video from the viewers and webtoon users.
