![]() It was challenging but at the same time very fun. I have been doing storyboards prior but it was the first time writing. “Adventure Time”, especially, it was my first writing gig. So it was harder for me writing jokes due to the cultural differences. So I didn’t grow up with the same culture. NY: Some people have natural talent to tell jokes while writing the story. MG: Besides voicing the characters tell us about your role as storyboard artist and writer? I think a lot of fans of the show though are translating what she is saying and putting it on the web. You still just hear her dialogue and it is so charming. MG: I don’t know a thing that Lady Rainicorn is saying but I still love her. Especially a lot of Korean American kids write me a lot about it and that is really cool to me. But people seem to like it, so I am flattered and happy about it. NY: Whenever I watch the show, I feel like my voice and acting pops out maybe since it is so unprofessional. MG: How can you reflect on the show’s success and popularity of your characters? He asked them to come on the show and that is very unusual in this industry. Pen actually went out and found artists after reading their comics. You are just able to connect with its so easily. Not just visually, the story appeals to a wide range of people from young kids to adults. MG: Was is it about this show that draws its audience in? So he asked me again to also do the voice of Beemo. They also had some problems finding a voice actor for Beemo after auditioning professional actors but Pen really didn’t like them. So he asked me to voice Lady Rainicorn first. At the same time, they were looking for a Korean speaking girl for one of the roles, which I happen to speak. Later on, he asked me if I wanted to do storyboards for him. Niki Yang: I went to school with Pen Ward (the creator of the show) and we got closer when we were doing shorts with Frederator/Nickelodeon. Frederator is the one who made this short program possible (“Random Cartoons”). He was right next to my office and we got to hang out and stuff.
