KIDARI STUDIO announced on April 28 that it is producing the webtoon "Gwang-An" as an original title for Lezhin Snack. All filming was completed on April 16, and the project has entered post-production. Lezhin Snack is a global short drama platform.
The original work depicts a palace romance between Crown Prince Lee Hyun-who is exiled to the West Palace after losing a power struggle-and Eunwoo, an assassin who infiltrates the palace disguised as a court lady to assassinate him. Since 2022, it has ranked No. 1 in the romance genre on Lezhin US for three consecutive years. In Korea, it also achieved the No. 1 spot in the romance genre on Lezhin Comics for two consecutive years.

The project is directed by Cho Bareun. After post-production, it will be exclusively released through Lezhin Snack.
