You're both a doctor and a writer. Which side is more important to you?

Writer 100%. I haven't practiced medicine in 5 years. I'm a full-time author now.

To quit being a doctor after all that effort… How much more do you earn now?

Income from web novels is not bad. About 3-4 times more than when I was a doctor.

Even before Netflix adapted 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' he was already making 3-4 times more than web novels than from being a doctor.

For reference, Song Huigoo, the writer of 'The Dream Life of Mr. Kim' also followed the novel -> webtoon -> drama path and said he achieved 'financia freedom' 5 years ago.
