In the first volume of The Ravages of Time, he described his lack of interest in the current popular comic market. However his own passion toward this action pictures had motivated him to create his own comic.

As a child, Chan was into sci-fi, cartoon, and Ultraman. He was majoring in visual art in a university. After his graduation, he got a job working as a graphic designer in the advertising field. He had experience with print ads in TV and newspaper and been involved with the top management.

Simply assigning works to his subordinates couldn’t satisfy his ambition, and eventually aroused him to create his first independent work ''Unhuman'' and applied to competitions.
