My name is Dae-Myung Lee, and I go by the nickname “Michael.M.”
I’ve liked drawing since childhood, and I wanted to become a cartoonist during my junior high years. However I gave up after hearing about the difficulties that cartoonists commonly go through. During my high school years, I prepared for an Art University and planned to major in Design. However, I was rejected, and from there I started various part-time jobs. I prepared to enter a game company for 2 years, but unfortunately, I was again rejected several times. During that period, I was impressed by the webcomics hosted on Naver (a Korean website similar to google or yahoo), so I drew my own by gathering and organizing ideas that had lingered in my mind for few years. That webcomic manifested in the form of Separate Ways, and now I’m in the process of publishing it after a few storyline modifications. I honestly don’t really have any special skills, but my hobbies include dancing, playing computer games, and assembling gundam playmodels. I’m also interested in fashion, beauty, health, and supernatural phenomena.
My favorite visual stories include New Secret Royal Inspector, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Slam Dunk, Knight Run, Noblesse, Trace, and Berserk.
