Abstract: Generative AI is revolutionizing South Korea's web comics industry, with legendary cartoonist Lee Hyun-se embracing AI to immortalize his iconic characters. While AI unlocks new creative possibilities, it also raises concerns about artistic agency and authorship. Younger artists like Park So-won resist AI, viewing drawing as the essence of their craft, while others, like Bae Jin-soo, see AI as a tool to enhance storytelling and creativity. As the industry grapples with the impact of AI, questions about the soul of creativity and the future of artistic expression emerge. [Extracted from the article]
