[Sports Today reporter Lim Si-ryeong] On MBC’s I Live Alone, Kian84’s long-held dream comes true: he finally meets his idol, horror-manga master Junji Ito. The episode reveals how a promise Kangnam made last summer — one many thought unlikely to be fulfilled — actually became reality.
The March 13 episode of MBC’s I Live Alone follows Kian84 as he travels to Japan to meet Junji Ito.
A preview at the end of the previous episode surprised viewers by hinting at the meeting. Kian84 has long cited Ito as a major influence on his ambitions as a cartoonist and even paid homage to him in his own work. Last summer, Kangnam — who visited Kian84’s home — vowed to arrange an introduction, and fans were left wondering whether he could make it happen.
\”It actually happened. I feel like I’m dreaming,\” Kian84 said, unable to hide his excitement as he prepared to meet Ito. Viewers are now curious about the behind-the-scenes story of how the meeting came together.
After arriving in Japan and settling into his accommodation, Kian84 made a list of the stories he wanted to share and the questions he planned to ask Ito. He recently began studying Japanese and said he practiced with the same discipline he brings to his running routine.
Kian84 then retreated to his canvas. \”He’s the person who showed me that being a cartoonist is a great profession — he’s like the universe,\” Kian84 said, preparing a painted gift to express his respect for Junji Ito. Fans will be eager to see the piece he completed after more deliberation than ever before.
