Lookism Is Studio Mir’s First Venture Into Adapting a Korean Webtoon

In 2010, Yu Jae-Myung, who previously worked as the animation director for Avatar: The Last Airbender's second and third seasons, founded Studio Mir. According to the website, the studio focuses on advancement through collaboration, inspired by the Russian space station Mir launch in 1986 when it made headlines as the first space station ever launched. As a result, the studio has mainly focused its efforts on international collaborations. In 2018, Studio Mir announced that it would produce its first original, Koji, which they describe as a fantasy/adventure series. This will be Studio Mir's first anime adaptation of a Korean webcomic.

The anime will premiere on Nov. 4, exclusively on Netflix.
