Kakao Entertainment will release the webtoon "Blue Angel Reboot," a remake of "Blue Angel," a hit by Lee Hyun-se, known as a "master of Korean comics."
Kakao Entertainment will serialize "Blue Angel Reboot" every Friday starting on the 13th on KakaoPage and Kakao Webtoon. First published as a print book in 1991, "Blue Angel" tells the story of female detective Ha Ji-ran as she navigates crime scenes in a world of brutal, merciless crime. The webtoon "Blue Angel Reboot" is a sequel to the original "Blue Angel," a flamboyant revenge drama that begins when Ha Ji-ran, who faces a brush with death at the moment of retirement, regains her youth.
The webtoon focuses on delivering the process of Ha Ji-ran punishing villains with gripping action and storytelling. To coincide with the release of "Blue Angel Reboot," 20 of Lee Hyun-se's past hits, including "High School Foreign Legion," "Police," and "Fly, Kkachi," will also be released in large numbers on KakaoPage in standalone volume form.
Debuting in the comics industry in 1978, Lee Hyun-se is regarded as a representative Korean cartoonist who has presented numerous works that balance popularity and artistry. He received great love across diverse genres with works including "Horrible Kkondae Baseball Team," which opened a new horizon for Korean comics, as well as "Fly, Kkachi," "Police," "The Emperor," "Man and Man," and "The Boss." He later moved into webtoons and presented several works, and in 2016 he was honored with the President's Commendation at the 7th Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards in recognition of his contributions.
Lee Hyun-se said, "The crime investigation comic 'Blue Angel' is fundamentally a dark and gloomy story, but it's about a tough female detective who insists that this world is still worth living in because there is love," adding, "I am newly presenting this story, which I showed in the past, under the name 'Reboot' to suit 2026. I drew 'Blue Angel Reboot' with the fierce mindset that 'this could be my last webtoon,' so I ask for your support."
