A Special Lunch with Gang Poole

Who: A renowned and skillful cartoonist in Daum (webtoonist) Gang-Poole

Why: I adore his cartoons, which are not only insightful but entertaining as well. As far as I know, he is the best cartoonist in Korea right now, almost all of his pieces made into movies and all of his toons always being in the center of the focus whenever he starts a new series. He has finished 8 series that can currently be viewed at “Media Daum”, and he has won 5 national awards given to the most famous/popular cartoonists in three consecutive years 2004, 2005, and 2006. I respect him as a person, as a cartoonist, and as a social activist. Plus, I love his comics, too.

Where: At a nearby restaurant from “Media Daum” company building (I’ve never been to a publisher-an INTERNET PUBLISHER before).

When: During Choo-suk, because that’s normally when cartoonists have the most amount of free time. (Of course, after his visit to his family)

What: At lunch, I would like to just ask about his personal background and life-his motivations of becoming a cartoonists, hardships he had experienced and the biggest successes, the happiest moments of his life, and all that-to know him better and find out where is inexhaustible energy and bottomless quantity of ideas. Then, I want to share my opinions and views about his cartoons, and maybe suggest some points that could improve his stories and innovate his style (although I’m not sure if I could help). I’m pretty sure that by this time that the time allowed for a short lunch would come to an end, but if I have the time left I want to know about his future plans, as a cartoonist or maybe as a totally different social member (I believe he has the sufficient capability to do exactly so). All in all, I think I would definitely have an enjoyable and memorable lunch with my favorite idol, and if he actually does with me as well, I believe he could pay for lunch since he has made a HELLA LOT OF MONEY from his masterpieces. 
