Kang Full

Kang Full (or Kang Pool, ) is the pen name of Kang Do-young (; born December 7, 1974), a South Korean webtoon artist and screenwriter. Kang began his career as a cartoonist in 1997, serializing comic reviews in Yeongseo Newspaper, then in 2002, began publishing his cartoons on his personal website. He is one of the first-generation webtoon artist in South Korea. His works have been adapted into a variety of movies, dramas, and plays. Film adaptations include APT, BA:BO, Hello, Schoolgirl, Late Blossom, Pained, The Neighbor, and 26 Years. However, it was his Disney+ original series Moving (2023), based on his own webtoon of the same name from 2015, that solidified his popularity on an international scale. Early life and education Kang Do-young was born on December 7, 1974, in Seoul. His father is a pastor. He moved to Gangdong-gu, Seoul when he was 2 years old and has lived there ever since. During his time as a college student, he gained the nickname "Kang Full" because he frequently wore green clothes. In Korean, 'full' (풀) means 'grass' (풀), hence the nickname. When I was in college, I saw a cartoon by artist . I thought cartoons were so fun, and I started drawing as a cartoonist in school. By the time I graduated, I had become so fond of cartoons that I thought of it as a career. However, I had no intention of becoming a current affairs cartoonist. I prefer creating stories. Even now, I have the most fun thinking up stories before serializing them. Kang, who majored in Korean Language and Literature at Sangji University, did not undergo any formal training in comic art. During his involvement with the student body at Sangji University, he crafted comic-style wall posters. Realizing that the written posters were not effectively captivating the students, he decided to convert them into comics. Career
