Kim Sejeong Talks About New Drama “Today’s Webtoon” + How It’s Changed Her Perspective On Webtoons

 Kim Sejeong has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “Today’s Webtoon“!

A Korean remake of the popular 2016 Japanese series “Sleepeeer Hit!”, “Today’s Webtoon” is a new SBS drama set against the backdrop of South Korea’s competitive webtoon industry. Kim Sejeong will star as On Ma Eum, a former judo athlete who joins a webtoon editorial department as a new employee and struggles to mature into a true editor.

As “Today’s Webtoon” tells the story of someone giving up on one dream (judo) and pursuing a second (webtoons), Kim Sejeong reflected on the importance of dreams and how they’re portrayed in the drama.

“I’ve always liked the word ‘dream,'” said Kim Sejeong. “[On Ma Eum] and I are almost exactly alike in the way we both chase after our dreams with passion and positive energy.”

“A dream that you’ve fulfilled shines bright,” she continued. “All dreams are precious, whether they’re dreams you’ve managed to hold onto them or dreams that you haven’t been able to make come true.”

However, she went on to note, “This drama doesn’t only show the bright side of dreams; it also portrays the dark and unglamorous sides of the realistic journey involved [in chasing those dreams]. I thought it would be interesting to approach this story from the viewpoint of the cheerful and positive Ma Eum, as well as that of Kim Sejeong.”
