Artist name: yooyoung · K-Arts B.F.A. · Lezhin Comics
A Korean webtoon artist who builds architecturally precise, cinematically composed worlds from classical Korean mythology — entirely solo, for readers across 8+ countries.
Lezhin Comics — Korea's #1 Premium Paid Platform
25+ Combined #1 rankingsAcross three serialized titles — Peaches and Dream, I Was Scammed by the Soul, and Hell TV — Cho has reached #1 on Lezhin Comics more than 25 times.
Eunjin Cho (artist name yooyoung) holds a B.F.A. in Scenic and Production Design from the Korea National University of Arts (K-Arts) — the country's most selective arts conservatory. After four years as a professional production designer on theater and film sets, she transitioned to webtoons in 2019 and has since built one of Lezhin Comics' most internationally distributed catalogs.
What sets Cho apart from most webtoon artists is her production pipeline. Before a single panel is drawn, she models fully realized 3D environments in SketchUp and Blender — a technique directly inherited from her scenic design training — giving every background architectural precision and cinematic spatial depth. She then executes every phase of production entirely solo: concept, scenario, storyboarding, character design, inking, and final coloring, across serializations running multiple years.
Her flagship title, Peaches and Dream, is grounded in deep primary research into Korean shamanist folk religion, classical court aesthetics, and historical visual traditions. The result is a world that feels authentically Korean while remaining fully accessible to international readers. The series is officially licensed and currently serialized in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese (two platforms), Traditional Chinese, and Thai.

Dark Fantasy · BL · by yooyoung · lezhinus.com/en/comic/peaches_dream
Seolwon — a do-myeong, a being raised exclusively on peaches to become an elite-class courtesan — is declared defective and cast aside before his purpose is fulfilled. He wakes to find himself purchased for an enormous sum by an unknown buyer. His search for answers takes him to Dream Palace, a sprawling casino ruled by Jay: a man of immense wealth and power whose sanity is the casualty of a succubus's curse. The only remedy may lie in Seolwon himself.
The series draws on primary research into Korean shamanist folk religion, historical court culture, and classical visual aesthetics — constructing a world that feels genuinely grounded in Korean tradition while remaining fully legible to readers with no prior knowledge of it. Every architectural environment is modeled in 3D before being rendered into finished panels.
"Born and raised on a diet of peaches, a do-myeong named Seolwon was destined to become a courtesan of the highest class, an exquisite creation known as a jade feet. But when his incomplete body is deemed defective and dangerous, he's cast aside as a failed product, discarded like broken porcelain… His search for answers leads him to Dream Palace, a sprawling casino ruled by the enigmatic Jay, a man whose beauty and power are matched only by his madness. Cursed by a succubus, Jay suffers from uncontrollable fits of desire and delirium. The only cure, it seems, lies in the stray do-myeong, the discarded creation who may now hold the key to both salvation and ruin."
