‘Yumi’s Cells’ webtoon has Woong meet a new woman named Jenny
According to Tap Comics, Woong gets another shot at love. Despite knowing that Yu-mi is moving on from Babi and continuing her self-journey, he is still hung up on her. In Yumi’s Cells webtoon, Woong meets a future girlfriend by accident.
While in a bookstore, Woong looks at romance novels when he catches Jenny’s eye. Jenny thinks he is attractive, well dressed, and interested in why a man is looking at romance novels. In the scene, Woong begins to approach Jenny. While she thinks it is to ask for her phone number, it is entirely different.
Jenny purchased the book Woong wanted, Yu-mi’s newest book, and a first edition. But Jenny is unwilling to give him the book and takes his number if she reconsiders. She musters the courage to text him to sell the book but loses it.
But Jenny learns from Woong that he no longer wants the book until Jenny messages him that she found it. Curious to know how she found the book, they meet for coffee. The webtoon does not show their relationship in detail, but that Woong is dating Jenny.
Jenny has a connection to Soonrok in ‘Yumi’s Cells’ webtoon
With how things ended in Yumi’s Cells Season 2, Jenny and Woong’s storyline has one dramatic detail. The finale introduced the long-awaited character Soonrok, Yu-mi’s future, and last love, who becomes her husband. In the webtoon, when Woong meets Jenny, Yu-mi is in her relationship with Soonrok.
The reason why Woong no longer wanted Yu-mi’s book from Jenny is that he saw them together. But Jenny also has a connection to Soonrok. When she loses Yu-mi’s book, she desperately wants to see Woong again. To get the book, she asks her friend, who is also friends with Soonrok.
Yumi’s Cells Season 3 could explore Woong’s webtoon storyline as he did not get closure in the second season finale. It would be easy to introduce Jenny as Woong is still hung up on Yu-mi. He does everything he can to advance her career in the shadows. Not to mention Jenny’s small tie to Soonrok could be quickly established.
