where’d you find out about this? i tried googling it and couldn’t find anything
Artist's twitter.
You can also see the difference between the official releases in English and the scanlations by Mafia Scans.
i actually the recent drawings, they are more defined and detailed
If you go to this webpage and scroll to the bottom, you will see a side by side comparison of the before vs after art.

Cause many Korean readers are a bunch of whiny and superficial bitches who like men who fit into the same boring cookie cutter beauty standard. They panic every time they see skin tones (no joke, many Korean webtoon artists will straight up not color the skin of the characters and just leave it paper white with only some blush added in to make it more “realistic”. I’m not gonna name any names but, if you are an avid reader of BL, you know exactly who I’m talking about). Korean readers want men to look like Victorian sickly boys with a Vitamin D deficiency.
Thank GOD, SATAN, whoever for Brothers Without a Tomorrow. At least we get skin tone variations.
You're so right!!
Wish I could *heart* your comment. Its one of the reasons I adore the works of Brothers Without a Tomorrow.
I like the original drawings of Woo-yeon's appearance for three reasons.
First because its what the artist wanted. Readers shouldn't be going against artists for drawing characters the way they want. Big no-no from me.
Secondly, because skin tones exist, and forcing an artist to change a realistic feature to promote characters with Vitamin D deficiency is unhealthy in reality.
And thirdly, in my opinion the original drawings add more of a cold feeling to Woo-yeon which was what the artist wanted to portray. Not that it doesn't show in the new version but in my humble opinion it was better shown in originals.
Omg the difference! The original character design of Wooyeon makes him look way more charming, therefore equally more capable at hiding his true colors and manipulate with his outer appearance- if that makes sense? I feel like the old design suited his character more because the current design him is kinda meh
Totally agree with you. <3
I just found that before the English officials came out, the artist had to redraw all of Season 1 because Korean readers complained about Woo-yeon's appearance.
That peaked my interest so I looked it up online and I'm so sad because the artist made him less attractive than he was before. Like for real, he was drooling material (handsome, tan-skin, masculine). And since Koreans readers didn't like it, they were erased. Why? Just why wouldn't they like the originals? I can't wrap my mind around it.
I'm amazed the artist went through with the changes just to feed the Korean readers what they wanted, but I feel so bad for the artist for having to deal with these kind of people. Not that its not good now, but oh boy the original drawings were on a higher level.
I'm disappointed in Korean readers.
