Today’s Webtoon revolves around athlete-turned-rookie employee On Ma-eum, who joins Neon Webtoon’s editorial department to give wings to her new dreams, after her hopes of becoming a judo athlete are shattered. Despite being new, she works hard to mature into a true editor in South Korea’s competitive webtoon industry. Belonging to a team of formidable webtoon editors, she wants to perform her best.

SBS drama has also released new stills giving a sneak-peek into Neon Webtoon’s editorial department.
