Kang Do-young (Korean강도영; Hanja康道永; born December 7, 1974), better known as Kang Full (or Kang Pool, 강풀), is a South Korean webtoon artist and screenwriter. Kang began his career as a cartoonist in 1997, serializing comic reviews in Yeongseo Newspaper, then in 2002, began publishing his cartoons on his personal website. He is one of the first-generation webtoon artists in South Korea.[1][2][3]

His works have been adapted into a variety of movies, dramas, and plays. Film adaptations include APT, BA:BO, Hello, Schoolgirl, Late Blossom, Pained, The Neighbor, and 26 Years.[2][3] However, it was his Disney+ original series Moving (2023), based on his own webtoon of the same name from 2015, that solidified his popularity on an international scale.[4]
