Night Bloomers – Webtoon series from the Korean Australian diaspora
Created by Andrew (undi) Lee; "Night Bloomers - the webtoon", is an online graphic novel that will be serialised into a horror anthology webtoon of Korean Australian narratives that span across the horror and supernatural genre. With stories of a goblin stow away, monsters chasing children down and shamans communicating with the dead, "Night Bloomers - the webtoon", will provide both spectacle and heart through an exciting platform that is rapidly expanding in Asia, North America and Europe. Inspired by traditional Korean story telling with its rich history of monsters, goblins and folklore, "Night Bloomers - the webtoon", sets out to continue this tradition for contemporary audiences who crave an alternative take with an innovative approach towards horror and migrants narratives from Australia. This project is international collaboration, which consists of Korean Australian writers and native Korean illustrators forging new partnerships of story telling between Australia and Korea.
