I would love to meet up with you
Is tonight okay with you?
Newtro & Nostalgia 01 WEBTOON IN POCHA
Hello
Hi, nice to meet you. Take a sit, please
I really enjoyed your drama series
Oh thank you
We prepared this Pocha today, is that okay with you?
Oh yeah I love it, it's been so long since my last pocha
Yeah, it's nice and cozy
And the food is good here as well
Oh really?
Check the menu
Shall we order?
They have eel, also chicken giblets
POJANGMACHA A mobile food cart in Korea that sells food and drinks on the street or in public places like parks
It's been so long since I last visited pojangmacha
Right? Same here as well
You must have visited quite often back in the day, right?
Yeah, I would often visit and have eels
You can feel the warmth
It feels great to be sitting here again
Let me pour you one
That'll be nice
Pocha is becoming a little popular again around this area
And to be honest I actually operate one as well
Oh really?
Yeah, got into the trend as well
Woah owning a business
I heard that recently in New York as well as in Europe that pocha is getting popular
So exporting our indoor pocha
Well I'm not responsible for it though
It's because with its aesthetic and nostalgia vibe
Yeah, that's true. I'm sure they enjoy it as well, it's different
WEBTOON Digital comic or cartoon that is published on the internet, often in a vertical scroll format
Anyway I really enjoyed that drama series
The original story was from my Webtoon
But I don't know what Webtoon is
You mean you don't know the word?
Yeah, that's right
It's manga, like those published paper manga
Right, you flip the pages
So around early 2000, it first started online
And then when smartphones came out, people started to read their manga on their phone
There were like notice boards for writers to upload
It wasn't that much for the writers..around $100? $200?
They would work on series because they enjoyed it
Then Webtoons started to get recognized as its own genre
And so many people are now enjoying it
Webtoon first started in Korea
You know how we add the letter K to it like K-drama or K-pop
But it doesn't get added to Webtoon. It's just Webtoon!
There's no such thing as K-Webtoon?
Yes, it's just Webtoon
A lot of Webtoon series are now getting adapted into movies and series
Yeah, that's true
Like , ,
They have all been adapted into shows and it all did well
If you're working on a project like that, give me a call
Yes, let's work together someday
You promised!
Yes
I think everything we talk about is all connected
Yes, I agree so let's drink to that
It's really nice to meet you
What's funny about alcohol is
You're drinking the same thing yet there are days when it's so bitter and there are days when it's so sweet
And it's sweet today
One of the work I did, there were a scene
Where a dad pours a drink for his son, and he tells his dad that the drink is sweet
And the dad tells him it meant his day was impressive and memorable
And as you said that your drink was sweet, it means our meetup today was impressive and memorable
-It's nice -Yes, it's nice
The reason why alcohol feels sweet is that today was impressive in pojangmacha
