The legendary taste becomes even more delicious with the appearance of Sun King Suba and the activities of Grandma Pat.

Author Lee Ji-eun, who created the legend syndrome with ‘The Legend of Patbingsu’ and ‘The Legend of a Friend’, has returned with the legend of ‘Watermelon’.
The Sun King Suba appears in front of Granny Pat, who was walking along the mountain path late at night after going to the market.
Suba, who appeared in the shape of a pig or a ball, was originally a dragon of the sky that illuminated the sun and made life grow.
He was barely able to escape to the ground after having his wings ripped off by a two-headed dragon that coveted Suba's wings and sunlight.
Suba desperately asks her grandmother for help, but instead of being treated like a king, she is even called names like Subak and Wangsubak, which makes her even more confused...


As requested by Suba, the grandmother kneads rice cakes all night and builds a tower with fruit to prepare a ritual table. Suba prays earnestly to the heavens from the land and the water, but nothing comes as planned.
Suba, who regained his wings from the two-headed dragon thanks to the brave actions of Granny Pat, who could no longer stand to watch, gives Granny a treasure as precious as the dragon's Yeouiju as promised and suddenly returns to the sky...
What was the dragon treasure that the Sun King Suba left to his grandmother? What is the connection between the watermelon legend and the dragon treasure?

Publisher's Review
A delightful, refreshing, humorous, and moving fantasy directed at those in dire straits.

Grandma Pat's warm and friendly feelings shine through in 『The Legend of Patbingsu』 and 『The Sun King Suba: The Legend of Watermelon』.
The way he bickers with Suba, calling her "Watermelon" even though she's about to die, the warmth and generosity with which he readily grants the request of Suba, a stranger, the way he energetically summons a two-headed dragon and locks it in a bottle as if mocking Suba's inaction, and the way he coolly says "I can't help it" and lets it go even in the absurd situation where the dragon gift, which is so precious, overflows throughout the country. You can experience a refreshing feeling that goes beyond everyday humor.


If the Sun King, the dragon who governs the growth of living things, Suba, in a moment of crisis, offered a table to the heavens and the earth and tried to solve the problem with an internal origin, Grandma Pat's solution is direct and simple.
The author's perspective that fundamental problems cannot be solved with only intangible origins, and that clues can be unraveled only when confronted directly, revealed, and confronted head-on, is embedded in the seemingly light and cheerful legend of the watermelon.


A story that will capture the hearts of fans with its captivating appearance and refreshingly cool characters.

Author Lee Ji-eun, who has been cherishing stories featuring dragons for a long time, has finally revealed the dragon's true nature in "The Legend of the Watermelon and the Sun King Suba."
When we think of a dragon, we often think of long beards, sharp eyes, and tough hide that is difficult to scratch, but in some ways, the Sun King Suba's appearance is closer to that of a watermelon-shaped beach ball.
Its short legs struggle to get up on their own when turned over, its lips stand out as if they are covering its entire face when closed, and its plump body with a tail reminiscent of a pig – it is difficult to associate any part of its structure with the shape of a 'dragon'.
This adorable Suba is actually a dragon of the sky! Author Lee Ji-eun has turned our stereotypes upside down, portraying the adorable sun king, who nonchalantly governs the growth and development of all living things.


What about the two-headed dragon?
The adorable two-headed dragon, who had been acting cute and saying that he couldn't go this way or that because he had two heads, appears as if he is about to command the world as soon as he gets his hands on Suba's wings and engages in a showdown with Grandma Pat.
How cute is the two-headed dragon that emerged from Suba's dung!

With a cast of unexpected characters, a thrilling narrative, and scenes that will make you laugh every time you watch it, 『The Sun King Suba - The Legend of the Watermelon』 is set to take this season by storm.
Now, let's embark on an exciting journey into the Suba fantasy carefully crafted by author Lee Ji-eun!
