BJ Alex is a completed 19+ BL webtoon manhwa written and illustrated by Mingwa.
The series was published and serialized by Lezhin Comics. It was digitally published in Korean by Lezhin Comics from November 24, 2017 to August 7, 2020.
The series was officially published book format by Lezhin Entertainment from February 25, 2021 to December 31,2021. It was published in English from August 31, 2021 to October 19, 2022.
The series is available in 9 languages, Korea, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Polish.

Every night at 10pm, Dong Gyun shuts himself in his room, tissues at the ready, and tunes into his favourite live cam show hosted by the captivating Alex. To Dong Gyun, Alex isn't just another online performer - he's confident, uninhibited, and everything Dong Gyun secretly wishes he could be.
But one drunken night changes everything. After blacking out at a school networking event. Dong Gyun wakes up in an unfamiliar bed... beneath a shirtless stranger who looks exactly like the from his screen.
When fantasy collides with reality, Dong Gyun's carefully guarded world unravels - because facing Alex in the flesh might be far more than he ever bargained for.



Volume 2 of BJ Alex continues on from volume 1 concluded, and we see what answer Dong Gyun gives to Jiwon to his proposal to help create content for his cam shows. We see Dong Gyun start to question whether he has a say in what they do, where and when to make the content for Jiwon to use. He begins to confide in his friend Chanwoo about the predicament he's in without going into too much detail, with Chanwoo making him see that he also has a say in this deal.
We don't really get much in the way of character development with Jiwon apart from him giving into Dong Gyun's whims and suggestions.
We also get to meet Myungdae that we learn is like Jiwon and has his own cam show under the name BJ MD.
Volume 2 seemingly ends with MD showing an interest in Dong Gyun and interested in asking him to be his sub for his own cam show. Which we see hits a nerve with Jiwon, but I personally feel that at this moment in time it's more because Dong Gyun is his and for his material, rather than him having any feelings for him.

Volume 2 is a good continuation of the story as we get to see more of how each of the characters think and how things could potentially develop.

See you soon!
