Yeon-Sik Hong

Twitterhttps://twitter.com/yeonsikhong Born in 1971 YeonSik Hong began apprenticing in a manga studio in 1990 and wrote his first short stories in comics form in 1992 but commercial projects kept him from his personal work for another decade. In 2005 Hong and his partner tried to move to the countryside. Two years later Hong began work on a graphic novel inspired by these experiences. Uncomfortably Happily was published in two volumes in 2012: it quickly became a critical success going back for a second printing and receiving the Manhwa Today Award. While theyd still like to move back to the countryside someday for now YeonSik Hong and his partner are living on the outskirts of Seoul. Source: Drawn Quarterly
