Who Created The Boxer? JH, The Horizon & Mosquito Wars

JH is the writer and artist behind The Boxer. Korean listings credit the creator as 정지훈. The same creator also made The Horizon and Mosquito Wars.

If a boxing comic led you to a bleak journey or a war against insects, you haven’t followed the wrong author link. Those different settings belong to the same creator’s body of work.

Let me connect the names first, then help you decide which premise to explore. There’s no need to turn curiosity about an author into a compulsory reading list.

Spoiler level: Published opening premises only. No fight results, character outcomes, or endings.

Content note: These introductions involve bullying, violence, devastated communities, and threats to human life. A change of genre doesn’t necessarily mean a gentler story.

Is JH the same creator as 정지훈?

Yes. Naver’s Korean listing for The Boxer credits 정지훈. The English WEBTOON edition uses JH, as does the Ize Press book edition.

Naver identifies the creator’s role as both writing and drawing. That makes JH the original comic’s creator, rather than the name of a studio adapting somebody else’s prose novel.

The English book has separate production credits, including lettering. Those describe work on that edition; they don’t turn its letterer into a second creator of the original webtoon.

When searching across languages, the useful pairing is The Boxer / 더 복서 and JH / 정지훈. An unfamiliar credit can simply reflect a different language edition.

What else has JH created?

JH’s creator introduction on WEBTOON names What I Want to Tell You as the career starting point, followed by The Horizon and Mosquito Wars, and then The Boxer.

That introduction provides career context. For exploring the English listings, these three titles give you quite different starting situations:

Three JH comics with different opening premises

Work	The starting situation
The Boxer	A coach discovers extraordinary fighting ability in a teenager who seems detached from the violence around him.
The Horizon	A boy and a girl move through a devastated world, facing despair and dangerous adults.
Mosquito Wars	A small surviving human population faces evolved mosquitoes, while soldiers seek research that could help humanity survive.

These are separate titles with their own openings. The official pages link them as other works by the creator. You don’t need to finish one to understand the starting premise of another.

Why The Boxer isn’t the only useful introduction to JH

The first book’s synopsis sets up a gap between what Coach K sees and the teenager’s own response. K recognizes remarkable ability; the boy doesn’t simply greet boxing as an obvious dream fulfilled.

That’s a useful question to bring into the opening: what someone can do and what gives their life meaning may be different things.

This is my reading of the published setup, rather than a claim about how every later match develops. If the premise interests you, let the comic introduce that tension before looking up who wins.

For my response to the completed story, my review of The Boxer covers its light-and-shadow imagery, the people behind the fights, and the emotional weight that stayed with me. It doesn’t reveal match results or the ending.

For episode totals, the completed series, and the collected books, use The Boxer reading guide. Here, the more useful connection is to the creator’s range beyond the ring.

The Horizon: a different kind of struggle

Ize Press’s The Horizon Volume 1 page credits JH and introduces two children moving forward through a ruined world. Its catalog labels include Drama, Dark, and Dystopian.

That changes the question a newcomer is being offered. Instead of a coach discovering a potential champion, the premise places vulnerable people in a world where continuing at all is difficult.

If you found JH through the psychological side of The Boxer, this is another premise to consider. It isn’t a promise of the same sporting momentum, or a recommendation to choose it when you’re looking for comfort.

The publisher rates the English book OT (Older Teen), compared with T (Teen) for The Boxer Volume 1. Those are the publisher’s edition labels; check the preview and description for your own comfort with the material.

Mosquito Wars: the science-fiction route

The official English WEBTOON page credits JH, categorizes Mosquito Wars as Sci-fi, and marks it completed.

Its synopsis places humanity against mosquitoes that have evolved into dominant predators. An elite group of soldiers seeks research that might give the remaining humans a chance.

If the survival mission is what catches your attention, you can begin with that comic’s own first episode. The title signals a different setting from The Boxer; sharing an author doesn’t make it a boxing sequel.

For another survival story already covered here, the Sweet Home introduction explores a different Korean webtoon’s monster premise. That is a thematic connection, not another JH credit.

Has JH made anything after The Boxer?

Yes. Kakao Entertainment announced 유제 (Yuje) in January 2026, following its Korean launch on KakaoPage and Kakao Webtoon in late December 2025.

In that official announcement, the creator describes questions about existence and the meaning of being human as central to the new work. The release identifies it as a 19+ Korean series.

I’m using the Korean title and a romanization here, rather than presenting Yuje as a verified official English edition title. The announcement establishes a Korean release, not English reading access.

It also puts the older WEBTOON biography in perspective: its wording about working on The Boxer describes an earlier career moment. It shouldn’t be used to infer that the completed comic is still running or that JH stopped creating afterward.

Career and catalog information checked: October 22, 2026.

Where would I start?

Start with the premise that made you curious. Choose The Boxer for the coach-and-fighter setup, The Horizon for the children’s journey, or Mosquito Wars for the science-fiction survival mission.

You can explore an author’s work without ranking every title or reading in career order. Begin at your chosen comic’s opening and leave character searches and ending discussions for later.
