All Gun wanted to do was turn over a new leaf. A problem child since birth, Gun thought transferring to Northern Art High School and moving into the Lucky Residence would offer him a fresh start--a chance to begin again, away from his punch-drunk past.
He really should have known better. Whether it's having his attempts at romance with the lovely Seung-Ah thwarted time and time again by the lusty Ji-Ae, putting up with deliveryman Sung-Rae's dreams of heavy metal stardom, or dealing with Northern Art's gangs, Gun is going to have a very hard time shaking off his past. However, it's something he must do if he's to look towards the future, and Gun's future is a bright one indeed.
For on the hard asphalt surface of a bike track, Gun will finally lose his apathy and find himself. On the back of a motorcycle, Gun's life finally has purpose, and it's a purpose that will not be fulfilled, at least in Gun's eyes, until he's taken the checkered flag in the Korean Grand Prix.
From the bestselling author of the smash-hit Ragnarok!
Myung-Jin Lee graduated from Seoul Technical College with a degree in Visual Design. In 1992, he began work on his first manwha series, An Evening Something Wonderful May Happen (the original Korean title of Lights Out), which ran for four years and won him the distinguished Champ Super Manwha award from Korea's top manwha publisher.
In 1995, he put his artistic career on hold to serve for two years in the Korean military. Upon his return, he formed his studio, Dive to Dream Sea, and began work on Ragnarok, one of the top-selling manwha of all time. He continues to work on it to this day. In addition, Lee's studio also created the 2-volume indie comics comedy manhwa Laya, the Witch of Red Pooh.
