## Superstring Work

### Reawakened Man

During the production of Reawakened Man, a few months later, Inwan Youn, decided the illustrator is to be him. Although, he didn't wanted to illustrate Reawakened Man due to how he was working on something and couldn't think he will write, illustrating and working with someone on two different works. However, Inwan convinced him seven times until Jaehan agreed.

In the midst, the unnamed glasses assassin that was hired by Daehan Group was modeled after Jaehan himself. He wanted the assassin to be someone people wouldn't expect like an elder or housewife. So he decided himself as the model and drawing himself is easy.

During the final manuscript, its deadline was on Friday 3pm and the storyboard deadline was on every Monday. His quick illustrations avoided any delays and hiatus. They then talk and match any dialogues and displays during on the phone. Afterwards, they amend anything they discussed. Then background artist, Namkyun Kim, helps with any background and coloring. Finally, Yongtaek render everything into strip format. During the creation of season 1, both he and the illustrator had never fought each other over creative differences.
