ABOUT THE CREATORS:-
JOHANES PARK and JESSICA LEMAN are an artist-writer couple residing in Jakarta, Indonesia. They met while studying animation at Kyungsung University in South Korea. Inspired by Johanes’ childhood experiences growing up with both Korean and Indonesian identities, the duo first created Magical Sweet Gula together in 2015, to share a story of acceptance and friendship with young people who feel “different”. Johanes is currently a university lecturer and Jessica is pursuing digital marketing in creative industries. They remain passionate about pop culture and comics as a medium to communicate meaningful stories with universal appeal, and participate actively in efforts to bring Indonesian creators’ works to global audiences.
