Hey guys! Webtoon Series No. 7 and today, I’ll be talking about Lost in Translation (Couldn’t find a picture so here’s the Webtoons logo?)
Lost in Translation is about Wyld, who is in a kpop group called Mayhem, who gets framed by the company’s CEO. Because of this, he’s been placed under the spotlight and can’t tell anyone about it. Ever since debuting with Mayhem, Wyld has been in several different articles that say that he’s been harassing a girl on the train or being seen with many different girls and going to night clubs, even though he only went to the club to return a wallet that fell out of a girl’s pocket.
Lost in Translation follows the story of Wyld and how he struggles to keep what really happens a secret. Because of all the articles, Wyld is also portrayed as a bad person and he can’t share his side of the story with the public because the CEO said: “It doesn’t matter does it? Haven’t we been over this before, Jaewon? So what if the articles about you are all lies? Mayhem was able to grow this big because of all the publicity. You don’t want to take that away from your members, do you? What is it that matters to you more, Jaewon? You? Or them?” Basically, the CEO is making him feel bad and to make him consider the other member’s feelings if their popularity goes down, so he doesn’t share the truth. And Wyld values Mayhem a lot more than himself. You know, I think the CEO is a terrible person.
Later throughout the story, Wyld meets a barista at a coffee shop he goes to a lot. The barista, who’s name is Junsu, helps Wyld and befriends him, gives him advice, and even helped him when a crazy stalker broke into Wyld’s house.
I really like Lost in Translation and I think it’s one of my favorite Webtoons (Thanks Mari for recommending it to me!) and I highly recommend it.
Well, that’s all for now! Bye!

Lost in Translation
Hey guys! Webtoon Series No. 6! Today, I’ll be talking about Lookism.
Lookism is about a boy named Park Daniel, who gets bullied at school for being… obese… Daniel then moves to another high school and lives alone. One day, he wakes up to find out that he now has two bodies. His original one, and a new one, which is tall, handsome, fit, and strong, and everyone likes him. But he can only use one body at a time, so if one if sleeping the other is awake.
Daniel goes to school with his new body and makes new friends, like Zack, a former boxer; Vasco, a childish, but also strong person who also protects the weak kids; Jay, a super rich mute boy, who Daniel can somehow understand, and who might have a crush on Daniel (well, he does anything for him and even adopted his dog’s puppies even though he’s afraid of dogs); and many other people. While in his new body, Daniel becomes famous and popular as a model, “Pacebook” star, and a former trainee of PTJ Entertainment (he dropped out). There is also a lot of violence in the book, but it’s really interesting.
Throughout the story, Daniel meets people who have been judged for their looks because they are obese, look weak, or are “ugly”. Daniel learns that a lot of people gets judged based on their looks and befriends some bullied kids and helps them. For example, one of his friends, who’s name is Duke, wants to be a rapper, so Daniel helps get him into PTJ Entertainment so he can become an idol.
I think Lookism is a really good book because it teaches people that you shouldn’t judge others by their looks. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested.
Well, that’s all for now! Bye!

Here’s an Eroldstory Video
Hey guys! Today I’ll be talking about my top five favorite Youtubers (In no particular order nd maybe with one of my favorite quotes from them). So, let’s begin! Also, I highly recommend all these youtubers.
EroldStory
One of my favorite animators is Eroldstory. I really like his videos because they’re funny and weird, plus he’s a HUGE weeb. He also inputs some snippets of kpop references for all the kpop fans out there. He has a large variety of videos, from comic dubs to animations about an art school student eating a plastic bag.
Tabbes
Another one of my favorite animators is Tabbes. I also really like her videos because they’re funny, but they can involve some swearing. Her drawing style is really simple, it’s basically a circle for a head, a rectangle for a body, lines for arm, and ovals for hands. That’s it. But sometimes she makes her drawings a bit more complicated, like adding fingers to her hands.*dramatic gasp* Nah, I’m kidding.
Ramenai
I really like Ramenai because she makes weird BTS animations. A lot of them are based off of other videos and some are stuff like: An Ugly Guide to the BTS Rap Line or The BTS Hunger Games. I find the characters she makes of them cute and kinda funny.
Markiplier
A lot of you probably heard of Markiplier but if you haven’t, then… uhh… Anyway, he plays a lot of video games and does a lot of challenges. He swears kinda a lot but he’s really funny.
Game Theorists/Film Theorists
I love Film/Game Theorists. If you’ve haven’t heard about either of those channels, it’s run by a guy named MatPat, He covers a lot of movies and games and makes theories about them that actually make sense. He uses a lot of math and science stuff in his theories, like helicopter physics, how much pressure it takes to break a human skull, and different types of amnesia. I’ve learned kind of a lot by watching his videos, like for instance one medium thing of McDonald’s fries is worth about maybe 200 megajoules worth of energy.
Well, I think that’s all for now. Bye!
