gog00n to Be Otakon 2026 Guest
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 20, 2026) – Go Hong-Seok, widely known by his pen name gog00n, will be a
guest at Otakon 2026, according to Otakorp Inc.
Gog00n is a visionary illustrator and designer who specializes in “Hangul calligrams.” By utilizing the unique
structural beauty of the Korean Alphabet (Hangul), gog00n reinterprets the inherent meaning of words into
striking visual forms, creating an artistic experience that transcends conventional text.
From the legendary admiral Yi Sun-sin to contemporary pop culture icons and everyday objects, gog00n
breathes life into his subjects using only the lines and dots of Hangul. His work serves as a testament to the
infinite artistic potential and geometric elegance of the Korean script.
Currently, he shares his expertise as a lecturer in the Department of WEBTOON Illustration at Gyeonggi
University of Science and Technology, and serves as a board member of the Korea WEBTOON Association.
Through his active presence on Instagram and YouTube, he continues to inspire a global audience by
capturing the “miraculous moment when letters become art.”
At Otakon 2026, gog00n looks forward to sharing his creative journey and the profound beauty of Hangul with
fans and fellow creators from around the world.
