Who is Soonkki?

The Korean Cheese in the Trap listing credits 순끼 for both writing and artwork. Its English WEBTOON edition uses Soonkki. Those are the creator credits to look for across languages.

WEBTOON also credits Soonkki on After School Lessons for Unripe Apples. Each English series page links the other under the creator’s other works, making the connection easy to check.

Which Korean and English titles belong together?

After School Lessons for Unripe Apples	세기말 풋사과 보습학원

The Korean Naver WEBTOON introduction identifies the second title as another work from Cheese in the Trap’s creator. Its longer English name is the title to use for the official English comic.

How do the two stories begin?

Cheese in the Trap introduces Hong Seol, a university student returning after a break, and Yoo Jung, an admired senior whose intentions trouble her. The Korean catalog and English synopsis both foreground uncertainty about their relationship.

After School Lessons for Unripe Apples begins with Mi-ae, a middle-school student, and a boy she knew in childhood. The Korean Series synopsis names them Hwang Mi-ae and Kim Cheol: he moves nearby and becomes her classmate, but reconnecting is awkward.

From those descriptions, I’d frame the choice around two questions: Can I trust this person? and Why is someone I knew so difficult to approach now? That’s my reading of the published setups—a way to enter the stories while leaving their characters room to surprise you.

Do you need to read Cheese in the Trap first?

For a newcomer, I’d begin with whichever opening interests you. The official introductions present different central characters and situations.

Choose Cheese in the Trap for Seol’s uneasy return to university. My Korean college-culture guide can accompany you when the senior-junior vocabulary needs context.

Choose After School Lessons for Unripe Apples if a school-age reunion sounds more appealing. Start at that comic’s own opening and let it establish Mi-ae’s world.

The After School Lessons for Unripe Apples hub brings its premise and official reading routes together. For the Korean wording behind its title, the school-setting explanation unpacks bosup hagwon, Mi-ae’s school year, and the social context of the reunion.

Where can you read them in English?

Use the official WEBTOON series pages:

Each has a first-episode link. Check the platform for current access conditions; the chapters visible in a browser are not always the full app catalog.

If the Cheese in the Trap drama brought you here, the webtoon and K-drama comparison explains that adaptation’s different emphasis. Its ending discussion is marked separately for spoilers.

For now, follow the premise that made you curious, and keep the other title in mind for another day.
