Into the book
- Who said that office workers have no ego?
Not everyone can work like a hero
Everyone works differently, Chief.
--- p.56
- What may be like a grain of sand to someone else may be like a rock to me.
Then, in the end, I can't stand it without removing the rock.
Those kinds of people end up changing direction.
--- p.58
- Once you learn how to open a door, you'll want to open every door in the world.
--- p.78
- Life mostly gives us ingredients that are not that special.
Someone uses it carelessly and loses it
Some people use it to destroy themselves
Some people save themselves by grooming themselves well.
--- p.174~176
- Why is the human mind made so annoying?
When you like someone, you can only like them 100 percent.
When you hate, why can't you hate everything?
--- p.258~259
- I know it, but I don't understand.
If he and I both keep our lines, how can we meet and become friends?

Publisher's Review
“Hobbies only make people dull.”
The story of a workaholic manager who hates work-life balance the most in the world, surviving the endless hobby hell.
Dotori Cultural Center, average age of users is 70 years old.
A peaceful place filled with the scent of ink on Mondays and the sound of funky town on Saturdays.
Someone has infiltrated this place with a secret mission… Universe Group's promising talent, Manager Ko Du-ri, infiltrates the Dotori Cultural Center, a 'holy land of hobbies', to ensure the success of the group's ambitious project, 'The Eureka'.
His goal is to obtain consent to transfer the property from four people who are the owners of the land for the 'Dotori Cultural Center', the future site of 'The Eureka', and are also students at the cultural center.
She, who hates hobbies, sneaks into a cultural center with her eyes closed to complete a company project!
"Acorn Culture Center" is the story of a workaholic manager who comes to destroy the "Acorn Culture Center" for the success of a company project, and the slightly strange and amusing middle-aged men who are neither particularly kind nor wise but end up protecting it.
It is a long-form comic drawn by Nanda, the author of 'Acoustic Life', and was serialized on Kakao Webtoon from 2021 to 2023, and was produced as an animation in 2025 and aired on EBS.
Momiran lived quietly in her husband's shadow...
Will she be able to hear my voice?
"Acorn Cultural Center" centers around Ko Du-ri, a manager at a large corporation, and depicts her process of becoming involved in the stories of the cultural center members one by one as she takes charge of a certain company project.
In Volume 3, the story of 'Momiran', who owns the largest share of the Dotori Cultural Center site and lives as an ordinary housewife, finally comes to an end.
In order to approach Momiran, a die-hard fan of a trot idol, Chief Go Du-ri disguises himself as her 'fan friend'.
But the more you learn about Momiran's life, the more you begin to see the hardships and loneliness she endured as a stay-at-home mom... Momiran may seem ordinary on the outside, but she possesses greater talent and potential than anyone else.
Will she, who has lived without realizing its value, be able to find her own voice through this incident?
Meanwhile, the whereabouts of the next target, member 'Song Su-ji', remain unknown.
While Goduri and Osoon are out looking for clues, they unexpectedly find a clue from Namsemi.
The tension gradually builds as two people who seem to have no connection at first glance are connected by some kind of fate and what Nam Se-mi is hiding.
For some, it's the first step that sets life in motion again.
When you need a little courage in life, come visit the Acorn Cultural Center!
Choice seems like a right given to everyone, but for some it is too distant and burdensome.
For Momiran, who was swindled out of her life in her youth and has been a stay-at-home housewife, leaving financial control to her husband, choices have always been left to others.
She has lived according to the needs of her family, having lost her own voice, and has always had to remain under her husband's control.
But the moment she opens the door to the Acorn Cultural Center, her life quietly begins to change.
At the cultural center, which she thought was a place to learn hobbies, Miran gradually regains her courage as she meets new people and cheers on her favorite singer.
In the process, I learn again how to exist as a complete 'me', not just a 'wife' or a 'mother'.
Furthermore, the feeling that ‘I can choose too’ and ‘I can control my life’ is revived.
Now that Miran has begun to find her voice, what will she say next? How far will that voice reach? Her transformation raises questions for us as well.
I want to look back at the choices I have made as a ‘self’ that I had forgotten about for some time.
As you do this, you will slowly feel the small first steps and quiet courage that will one day move your life forward grow in a corner of your heart.
The exclusive comic book "Nanda's Nine-Four-Eyed Story"
Author Nanda put a lot of effort into publishing this book.
In the process of converting the scroll serial manuscript into a format manuscript, a large number of illustrations were revised and meticulous editing was done to improve readability.
The supplementary comic book "Nanda's Nine-Tail Story", which can only be found in the single volume, introduces the award-winning history of the "Dotori Cultural Center," which has been much loved both domestically and internationally, and the story behind the animation production.
