Acorn Culture Center Animated Series Debuts on EBS

The animated version of Acorn Culture Center created its debut on Korean broadcaster EBS on June 1. The show is on every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. KST. It is based on Nanda’s popular webtoon that ran from 2021 to 2023 on Kakao Webtoon.

The story follows Du-ri Go, a dedicated manager at a big company. She is assigned an unusual mission—to go undercover at a local culture center. Initially reluctant, Du-ri soon finds her life shifting in unexpected ways. As she takes part in classes like calligraphy, knitting, and even menopause dance, she begins to reflect on her own life and priorities. The plot offers a quiet but meaningful journey of self-discovery.

Acorn Culture Center Animated Series: A Local Collaboration with Heart

The animated series is a joint project between EBS and 5Bricks. While the original webtoon gained popularity among Korean readers, there is currently no official English translation available. However, with the show now on air, international interest in the story may grow.

Acorn Culture Center stands out with its blend of humor, introspection, and relatable adult experiences. The series captures the quiet struggles of work-life balance and the emotional weight of midlife changes. With a down-to-earth narrative and realistic character growth, it brings a slice-of-life charm not often seen in workplace dramas.

The creators turned a thoughtful webtoon into a family-friendly cartoon, giving a new twist to adult animation. The warm visuals and gentle pacing aim to draw in both young and older viewers. As the show continues, audiences can expect more heartfelt moments and subtle life lessons.

This simple but meaningful series is now part of EBS’s schedule, bringing more variety and depth to the network’s educational and cultural shows. For viewers looking for a story that gently explores personal growth, Acorn Culture Center may be one to follow.
