Actor Park Ji-hoon's OTT Tving original drama 'The Legend of the Cook' concluded successfully on the 16th, and the original author J. Robin announced that novel royalties alone reached approximately 88 million won following the drama's broadcast. J. Robin stated that unpaid webtoon royalties are expected to be even higher. The author credited Park Ji-hoon with the drama's success, noting that he perfectly portrayed the protagonist Kang Seong-jae, achieving back-to-back hits following the 10-million-viewer film 'The Man Living with the King.' J. Robin explained that increased enforcement against illegal webtoon sites drove readers to official platforms, while the divergent adaptation approach between the drama and original work boosted demand for the source material. The author noted that royalty rates increased fivefold due to the work's reverse trend popularity. J. Robin detailed that web novel and webtoon authors' income comprises five types: novel royalties, advertisement revenue, webtoon royalties, lecture fees, and video rights, with drama success generating increased overall revenue.
