In this program, participating artists and Manhwa(comics) critics become a panel of talkers to discuss following quesitons which address the perspective and the attitude in seeing society and reality throughout Manhwa.
1. Who would like to claim that 'Manhwa is art'?
- What's the intend behind the claim?
2. Right at this point, isn't the logic of Capitalism hiding behind?
- Claming that Manhwa is nothing to money; Truth to say, it's even greedier.
3. Rather, it's better to be frank with money.
