Kakao Entertainment is releasing a webtoon based on the web novel "Even If I Fall into a Ghost Story, I Still Have to Go to Work" ("Gwoedam Chulgeun") on KakaoPage on June 5.
"Gwoedam Chulgeun" is a modern fantasy series that follows the protagonist Kim Soleum, who becomes possessed in a world of urban legends and navigates various ghost stories as a new member of the field investigation team at "Baegilmong Co., Ltd." This is the next work by author Baek Deoksu, known for "Cursed with a Disease That Kills If You Can't Debut," and it ranked No. 1 across all genres on KakaoPage’s annual chart last year. The cumulative number of views has reached approximately 370 million. The fanbase is so strong that each popup store event has seen overnight lines of eager fans.
