<BallBear Friends>
Today, the BallBear friends are training hard at the Sports Academy to become the best sports balls. Together with Cutter, who dreams of becoming a sports commentator, they create a broadcast program.
Among them is "Ace," a baseball that dreams of hitting home runs but works hard on dodging training because he hates getting hit by the bat. Then there's "Nova," a soccer ball who should be fast but is instead full of passion and enthusiasm, yet too slow in action. And "Lucky," a basketball that should be quick and bouncy but dreams of becoming a rapper and is always snacking.
Unlike the typical sports balls we know, these unique and quirky BallBear characters have their own distinct personalities and unconventional values. Despite their chaotic and clumsy adventures, they strive to learn the rules of the game and uphold the spirit of sportsmanship.
With their dreams in sight, the BallBear friends keep running forward every day!

In 1996, he sent letters to 10,000 people worldwide and received personal handwritten responses from notable figures including Warren Buffett. In 1998, he produced the animation "The Battle Between Harvard Man and Gondra" at Harvard, and in 2000, he began serializing the "Harvard Man" inspirational comic in Dong-A Ilbo newspaper, marking the start of his professional creative career.
