The cartoon creator training course was established to discover and nurture young aspiring cartoonists through meetings with outstanding domestic creators and to expand opportunities for exchange among content creators.

This project was operated at 'Chaekbom,' the only independent bookstore in the Gumi area. Chaekbom has been introducing independent publications on Geumridan-gil for seven years, nurturing local writers through independent publishing and InDesign workshops, and contributing significantly to creating a virtuous cycle in the local book publishing ecosystem by selling published books by the nurtured local authors.

The cartoon creator training course included ▲ 'Nature Observation Diary' with writer Ida ▲ 'Four-panel Comics with My Own Character' with writer Lunapark ▲ 'Drawing Four-panel Instagramtoons' with writer Susinji, culminating in a presentation of drawings in each participant's unique style and a sharing session of the results.

Seo Young-su, head of the Gumi City Cultural City Support Center, said, “We will continue to support the sustained growth of citizens interested in webtoons or cartoons.”
