Just read the author's note for season 1. Kind of spoilers I guess, but not really much spoilers to the story (except for some of my inputs).

Ahahha I'm a bit surprised, I think the author is a man since their cartoon persona which is a slab of meat has a beard.
---------------------------------------------
Anyways, so they said Season 1 was really long but Season 2 and 3 will be made shorter if they can help it.
---------------------------------------------
The names Jingi and Myeonggi was spontaneously made from playing a Sims game at a friend's house.
And Heonjae's name is a wordplay with the meaning of "today" to be the opposite of Myeong-il's name meaning "tomorrow" (obvi in the Korean language of course).
---------------------------------------------
Myeong-il started smoking since middle school. Myeong-il insists he can still date women.
---------------------------------------------
Confirmed Jingi and Heonjae biologically came from the same mother and father (so it's confirmed that they're not half-brothers or anything.)
---------------------------------------------
Question:
"Doesn't Jingi care that there's a 10-year age gap between him and Myeong-il? Doesn't that make Jingi a cradle-snatcher?"
----------------------
Answer:
"Just to the extent Jingi thinks 'He's just a kid/brat'...? That's about it!
I guess that's the reason why he's in prison."
(bruh, author, that is one dark joke considering the finale reveal.)
(Unless... that's actually a low-key fact? I mean, could Jingi have been framed and imprisoned for those crimes related to the children? Which were actually crimes by the Uncle? So that actually IS the reason Jingi is in prison? Even your jokes have some clues in them, author).
(Also, low-key had this question in mind too with the 10-year age gap, cuz of the recent reveal of the issue we're addressing with adults and young children, but I thought, "Nah, Myeong-il is nearly 30. Myeong-il can and should be responsible for all his choices now as an adult. Doesn't matter how much younger he is than Jingi at this point".
So, Jingi acknowledges how much younger Myeong-il is, but Myeong-il can definitely no longer be considered a child at all in his age XDD But maybe with his elementary-level spelling he can be considered a child, lol.
Plus, Myeong-il doesn't even treat Jingi any older than himself and doesn't give him the respect that elders are usually given in Korea, so Myeong-il calls Heonjae "hyung" but not to Jingi.)
---------------------------------------------
Driving styles of all three:
----------------------
Heonjae: So scared that he doesn't drive or just drives really slow.
Myeong-il: Rough driving and doesn't have a driver's license.
Jingi: Drives so smoothly that it prevents carsickness.
----------------------
(Basically my interpretation of what those driving styles mean for them:
----------------------
Heonjae: Anxious, scared, and overly sensitive.
Myeong-il: Reckless, rule-breaking, and adaptive.
Jingi: Controlled, composed, reliable and mature.)

A Japanese fan asks :
----------------------
"What is the red soup that was in *Myeonggi's* [not sure if I'm translating this right, but the big bear man's] high school lunch? Was it red broth?"
(The Japanese fan probably mistranslated the name Heonjae and mixed it up with the name Myeonggi since they can both mean "bright day/future" and "current day" (again idk how in those languages)).
Anyway, the author's answer was kimchi mixed into water and rice. It's a quick, cheap meal when there's nothing to eat at home. (bruhh that makes Heonjae sound so dirt-poor if he only eats stuff like that, and he's such a large fellow too, but just eats cheap rice and water meals).
