SAM (삼; sam) is a South Korean comic artist and the creator of Your Throne.

Biography[]

Background[]

SAM has expressed interest in the comic world since middle school. After reading an enjoyable manga series, she was inspired to create an influential story that similarly enticed readers. She eventually attended Y Lab Academy to properly learn art and comic design. Although she was initially concerned about merging careers and passions, SAM discovered immense joy in creating comic works.[1]

Your Throne[]

During the conception of the series, SAM wished to incorporate the supernatural phenomenon of two characters switching bodies. She decided to use this commonly-employed concept to explore the relationship between a female character with an illustrious persona and one with a notorious reputation. Since the series was set in a fantasy world, SAM focused on creating realistic characters that readers could empathize with despite the drastic differences in their lives.[2] She compared Medea Solon's nosebleed while working[3] to the stress that South Korean students face while studying for school entrance exams. SAM focused on developing plot lines for each character that explored matters of the human heart.[1] She enjoys integrating detailed facial expressions while drawing panels of Your Throne, referencing materials that analyze universal facial expressions to effectively portray character emotions.[2]

Your Throne was officially featured as an original Naver webtoon series on January 6, 2020. Since her debut, SAM expressed gratitude towards her fans for their continuous support. She stated that she initially produced content solely for her own interests, but had since learned to gauge reader response for future episodes. Although leading protagonist Medea Solon is a fan-favorite amongst readers of the series, SAM herself views her characters objectively. She stated that forming a personal attachment to any specific character may cause favoritism and inadvertently influence her to change the plot.[2]
