"I met someone with whom I want to spend the rest of my life, and we wound up lighting our wedding candles on a snowy white day.

The Truth Behind True Beauty
For those curious, Yaongyi, who was born as Kim Na Young, has married Jeon Seon Wook, a fellow Webtoon author. The writer is best known for penning My Life as a Loser as well as Free Draw. Of course, fans across the globe know of Yaongyi and their hit Webtoon True Beauty. The manhwa debuted in April 2018 under Naver, and it has been translated into dozens of languages since. Since its debut, True Beauty has racked up over 825 million views, and a live-action Korean drama inspired by the Webtoon was released in December 2020.

Armed with her newfound beauty, Jugyeong is in a love triangle with two of the most handsome boys at school: Suho, the stoic mystery man who knows her secret and Seojun, the "bad boy." But will her elite status be short-lived? How long can she keep her true appearance a secret?"
