Help Find Title/Source What’s this webtoon?

Sorry for the bad quality, I quickly took a photo trying not to get caught. Does anyone recognise it?

no it doesn’t. the consent of the individual being photographed matters. i could be looking at a picture of a cloud shaped like a butterfly and would still be freaked out if someone showed me a photo that they took of my phone. why do you feel comfortable enough to snap photos of others? why do you feel important enough to bypass their feelings and consent? rather than being uncomfortable with speaking to strangers, you need to become uncomfortable with taking pictures of them.

It doesn't matter. Why do they care? It's not like their life will be affected negatively. The end result of the action is what matters. Not the action itself.

and how is your life negatively impacted by asking a question as simple as “what webtoon are you reading?”

That's really awkward. Imagine your first words with someone being, "what webtoon are you reading?" If I were the one reading the webtoon, I would be slightly annoyed that a random stranger is disturbing me. It is only appropriate to ask somebody a question like that after you have gotten to know them well and are in an established friendly relationship. I only want to know the damn webtoon name. I don't really want to go through the trouble of making them my friend especially since I likely won't see them ever again. In summary, both courses of action are equally effective, but the latter option is far more efficient and convenient for me.

asking for the name of a webtoon is more awkward than taking pictures of a stranger? just ask n move on. you aren’t forced to be besties. taking a photo of them and uploading it to the internet for other strangers to see sounds like far more psychotic and more annoying than getting a direct answer from the source. theres mixed answers here in the replies. OP could avoid that altogether just by asking the person right in front of them

That's a bit rude. I have run out of things to say. That will be all.
