Artist's commentary
Smile in running subway
In Korea, where I currently live, it is stipulated that drawing a cute girl or expressing a illust in an Anime style is wrong, so it was common to face countless discrimination and dangerous things compared to those who draw in real-style. For that reason, most people who do not pursue real-style have already left Korea a long time ago and moved to Japan to settle down.
I also had to face many risks because the expression method was not real-style, and while I was working on SNS only looking at the Japanese market, the home of 2D Anime Illustration, I knew about NFT. I gained hope through my seniors who draw animation-style 2D illustrations, and through NFT, I gained another hope that I could freely create my work and get fair profits without being unfairly used.
I hope NFT will be a new hope for many illustrators who have lived without being treated fairly just because the expression method is not realistic so far.
