Candy Goblin
사탕 도깨비
Synopsis
A cracked glass jar lay buried in the earth for a long time.
Thanks to a small creature that passed by, it barely began to sprout a tiny sense of self under sunlight and moonlight.
But as time passed, the crack deepened, and the jar’s clarity began to fade.
Then one day, a noble scholar happened to find the jar.
When the scholar shed blood for the dying glass jar,
at last, the goblin within the jar was born.

Lee Biwon, the star actor of Korea’s top entertainment agency, Dobby Entertainment.
He always wore a smile that enchanted people—
but in truth, he was Ibi, a day-goblin, the only one who could walk under the sun.
Was he the only non-human in this secret-filled company? Of course not.
The agency itself had been established with the permission of goblin king Igok,
and Dobby Entertainment had become a sanctuary for all kinds of supernatural beings.
That is—until one day, two goblins vanished.
“The goblins were taken by hunters.”
“…Hunters? What kind of hunters?”
Hunters—those who capture and kill monsters.
In all of Ibi’s 500-year-long life, he’d never encountered one—until just a few days ago.
Their first meeting was in a dark alley, with the stench of blood.
But strangely enough, their second meeting came in the most unexpected of places.
‘Why on earth is he here?’
“I’m a fan of yours, Mr. Lee Biwon.”
“…What?”
It was at his fan signing event.
The hunter, who left a terrifying and powerful impression, piqued Ibi’s interest—
and would soon return for a third encounter that would shake his goblin life to its core.
“I hope I can meet my scholar again soon…”
The wish he had carried like a habit for so long,
the dream he could never forget, though he tried—
was finally about to come true.
