"Wolya Hwandam" (written by Hong Jung-hoon, Kakao Page) depicts a brutal battle between vampires and a human who becomes a monster himself to seek revenge against vampires in a world where the two species coexist.
Following the previous installments of the "Wolya Hwandam" series—"Chaewolya," "Changwolya," and "Gwangwolya"—the fourth chapter "Sinwolya" has begun serialization. The series, which has been running since 2002, is considered a landmark work in Korean urban fantasy fiction and represents author Hong Jung-hoon's greatest hit.
The work is praised for its dark, decadent atmosphere, fin-de-siècle sensibility, and intense action sequences between vampires and humans. A webtoon adaptation of "Wolya Hwandam" was launched simultaneously with the new "Sinwolya" installment.
