[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Webtoon artist and broadcaster Gian84 has attracted attention by revealing his recent status for the first time after the controversy over misogyny.

On the 31st, Gian84 posted a photo with the caption "The weather is humid."

In the photo, Gian84 is shirtless, squatting while holding a cat in his arms and looking out the window.

Earlier, on the 12th, the webtoon "Bokhakwang," serialized by Gian84, sparked a public outcry over misogyny.

In response, Gian84 apologized, saying, "I am truly sorry for causing concern again due to inappropriate depictions in the work," and revised the problematic scenes and dialogues.

He added, "I should have thought more and worked harder on the manuscript, but I sincerely apologize to the readers for causing discomfort. As many people are paying attention, I will be more careful with both major and minor expressions in the manuscript."

After the misogyny controversy, Gian84 did not appear on MBC's "I Live Alone," where he was a cast member, leading to rumors of his departure. The "I Live Alone" team explained, "His absence is due to personal reasons and not a departure."
