After my article about the hiphop webtoon ‘Move The Crowd’, you all showed great interest in an English version of it, so I asked the production team if I could translate it but was unfortunately turned down (the team needs the clicks on their webtoon so that it has a bigger chance of becoming an official Naver webtoon, which is why having another version of it out there would obviously be counterproductive). Therefore, I will from now on at least summarize for you what happens in each chapter, who makes a cameo, and what else there is to look out for.
