I Live Alone Kian84's role model Junji Ito praised Kian84's drawings.
On the 20th broadcast of MBC 'I Live Alone' (I Live Alone), Kian84 was shown sitting face to face with his idol, manga artist Junji Ito.
Kian84 met Junji Ito, whom he has long regarded as a role model, in person. Facing the master in person, Kian84, unable to close his mouth, showed childlike joy, saying, "It's so amazing to meet you in person. That you move and live in front of me. I just liked it so, so much."
In particular, it was revealed at the scene that Junji Ito surprisingly already knew Kian84. Junji Ito said he had personally visited Kian84's solo exhibition through YouTube, and upon encountering Kian84's artistic world gave the unexpected, heartwarming comment, "The drawings are very cute."
Moved, Kian84 confessed in carefully practiced Japanese, "Meeting like this feels like a dream. Thanks to you, I was able to dream of becoming a manga artist." He continued, "Since first seeing your manga at the bookstore in front of my house in '94, I have been greatly influenced. You are like a swirling universe to me," expressing boundless respect for the master.
