The last info I've read from the author was September 2024, and they seem to have been experiencing other health related issues separate from the original issue (surgery) that caused them to go on hiatus. It seems the authors intention was to pick back up after recovering but that didn't happen due to them being sick etc. I don't think the author has dropped or plans to drop this series. They seemed very much committed to continuing and making it worth the wait we experienced. Based on what they have said in September, I believe once the authors health has improved and is in a stable condition we can expect the return, just don't know when that will be. Here's a Google translation of the message from the author that I'm referring to in this comment. I apologize if the translation isn't perfect/completely accurate.
"Hello? It's been a while since I've said hello~
I wonder if it's okay to say hello after making you wait so long ㅠㅠ
We're working on our comeback!
Actually, there's been a lot going on...
Let me just talk about myself...
I caught a cold three times at the beginning of this year.
I don't go out much, so I haven't caught COVID yet.
I took the subway once in the spring to visit my parents, and I caught another cold that day.
The spring cold was so bad that I had a really bad cough all day for three weeks.
But you guys... Did you know...
A cough can reach up to 160 km/h... Your
abdominal pressure increases suddenly, putting a strain on your discs...
Yes... I ruptured my lumbar disc while coughing...
My back hurts so much when I cough... The coughing didn't stop and kept coming... It was so hard...
But I've never been diagnosed with a herniated disc before, so I didn't know.
So I thought it was just temporary and waited for the cough to stop, but even after my cold got better, my back hurt so much that I couldn't sit down.
So I went to the neighborhood orthopedic clinic and got an X-ray, and the doctor said it didn’t seem
to be a herniated disc… I thought it wasn’t, so I took medicine for a week, but it didn’t get better… So this time I went to a Korean medicine clinic. The doctor said it seemed to be a mild herniated disc.
However, I went to the clinic almost every day for a week, got acupuncture, and received physical therapy, but it didn’t get better…
In the end, there was a large general hospital in the neighborhood, so I went there and got an MRI… Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be serious enough to require any treatment or surgery, so I kept taking the medicine and the pain got better…
I still get sick often these days, but I can still sit…
Anyway, I spent two months in the spring lying down without sitting down.
I’ve never been so uncomfortable that I couldn’t do my daily life, so I didn’t think much about taking care of my health…
I think I need to start exercising again and living a healthy life.
And while I was resting, I did some other work for a while.
(Unfortunately, the project fell through, but I hope I can show you later, even if it gets better!)
When I started working on Show Me Your Bust again, I was so happy to see Jiho and Woohee. You guys. You're so cute...
It's my job to make those cute girls do sexy things to each other...
Guys, that's it...
Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun working on it these days!
You guys, take care of your coughs... and stay healthy... because we're getting older together.
We'll work hard and come back to greet you next time.
Thank you!"
