South Korean entertainment company, HYBE announced its next collaboration with Naver Webtoon that will feature four different original webtoon stories based on popular K-pop bands like BTS, Tomorrow X Together and ENHYPEN.
The company took this decision in a corporate briefing event titled “2021 HYBE Briefing With Community” which was organised on November 4. HYBE took this initiative to expand artist based content to include not only music but also stories that can be applied to different media formats.
In the event, HYBE announced four original stories that will be released as webtoons and web novels in 2022. The upcoming webtoons and their release date are as follows:

• “The Star Seekers” BY TXT (Jan 16)
• Crimson Heart (Release Date Not Announced)
BTS will star in the original webtoon ‘7 Fates: CHAKHO‘. The story is an urban fantasy genre inspired by the “Chakhogapsa”, or tiger hunters from the Joseon dynasty. Seven young men whose fates are intertwined work together as they encounter mythical creatures inspired by traditional Korean lore.
Then, the boys of ENHYPEN will star in the original webtoon ‘Dark Moon: The Blood Altar’. This fantasy-romance webtoon is the first installment in the ‘Dark Moon’ series and centers around seven vampire boys who meet a girl with a mysterious secret.
Lastly, the members of TOMORROWx
TOGETHER will star in the original webtoon ‘The Star Seekers‘. The story centers around the members of a K-pop boy group, who live in a world where magic and reality coincide. One day, the group members awaken to their magical abilities and fight against a secret enemy.
