Kakao Entertainment (CEO Kwon Ki-soo, Jang Yoon-joong) recently exclusively unveiled Jung Ji-hoon's new work "Yu-je," which won the award at the world-renowned cartoon festival with his masterpiece "Horizon." The artist, who has collected a big fandom for each work across various genres, is expected to present it for the first time in three years since his previous work "The Boxer."

Yuje, which was released on the Kakao page and Kakao Webtoon on the 30th of last month, was a new work by Jung Ji-hoon, which was expected even before its release. In November last year, Jung Ji-hoon won the Yellow Kid 'Comic of the Year' in Luca Comics & Games as a book of the webtoon 'The Horizon' and was recognized by critics and fans around the world. The event, held in Italy at the end of every year, is considered one of Europe's largest comic and game festivals.

In particular, the webtoon "Yuje" is a new work that Jung Ji-hoon presents for the first time in a long time since the completion of the popular work "The Boxer", and it is a work with strong storytelling and directing in addition to philosophical messages that are deeper than the previous work. As the title of the work using "There Is You" and "臍" implies, it combines breathtaking suspense and thrill to solve the consideration of human existence, which is separated from the mother who was one body and inevitably leads to death.

The work depicts the story of a girl who wants to completely cut off the world and another girl who affirms human existence and the meaning of life. Starting with the webtoon "What I Want to Say to You," it is a work that condenses the artist's ability to build a variety of spectrum across each genre of work such as "Horizon," "Mosquito War," and "The Boxer," and features an unprecedented development, action, dense dialogue, and beautiful production unique to the artist.

The artist expressed his desire to resonate with readers through the webtoon "Yuje." "I'm happy to meet with domestic readers with a new story again after the previous work, The Boxer," said Jung Ji-hoon, "The webtoon 'Yuje' is a story that has been fiercely agonizing over existence and human meaning for a long time. I hope this work will be a journey to find the answer with readers."

As a place that leads the domestic webtoon and web novel industry, Kakao Entertainment plans to actively discover and introduce leading IPs in the future. Jung Ji-hoon's new webtoon "Yuje" is published every Tuesday as a 19-year-old user on Kakao Page and Kakao Webtoon.
