This project was formed as part of the celebrations of the 120th anniversary of Franco-Korean diplomatic relations with the support of the French Embassy in Seoul. In the very heart of Seoul, close to the Central Station and a stone's throw from the hotel where the French authors of this collection stayed, a huge billboard illustrates a visionary picture. The French high-speed TGV train route (KTX in Korean) links Seoul to Paris and Paris to Seoul with just a single line. For the Koreans it is not a joke, nor wild imagination, it is a project! So while you are waiting to travel to Seoul by land, here is the magic of the graphic novel with twelve Korean and French stories: escape to Korea for a while.

Byeong-Pil, who was just discharged from the military, is conflicted about whether to return to the department he had chosen out of necessity or to find another future. At that moment, he receives a request from his senior and friend, Man-Su, to find his uncle, and with financial support from Man-Su's family, he works part-time to 'ind Man-Su's uncle with Man-Su.

By entering the world of his uncle, which he had no interest in and no need to know about, and encountering his uncle's agony, joy, and ideals, Byeong-Pil's eyes are opened in a new way. Byeong-Pil meaningfully organizes his career path that he had been contemplating. (Source: Kakaopage, translated)

Lee Sam-Tak, 28 and single, quit his job and moved back to his hometown to become a farmer, where he bought some farmland. He then had business cards printed with “Farmer” as his occupation and handed them out to everyone he met. He was worried that the neighbors, curious about his move to the countryside, might bombard him with annoying questions or gossip. Lee Sam-Tak handed out those business cards. And once he did, the word “farmer” printed on those cards became the name the locals used to address him. That’s right—it became his proper name. Even if Lee Sam-Tak is clumsy at farming and ruins the crops, people still call him “Farmer”—as if mocking him. Even when Lee Sam-Tak runs around the mountains day in and day out with a shotgun, claiming he’s hunting animals that harm the crops, people still call him “Farmer.” No, no. What if—just what if—for real! Let’s say Lee Sam-Tak says he’s “just taking a break.” Even then, they’d still call him “Farmer.” Those villagers would. Because that’s what Lee Sam-Tak wants.
