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!
