Selected titles include 'Supsok-ui Dam', 'Shin-ui Taegung', 'Joahamyeon Ullineun', 'Jibi Eopseo', and 'We Are the Zombie'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seo Mideum] Dahong's Forest's Wall, Haesogeum's God's Taegung, Cheon Gye-young's Love Alarm, Wanan's No Home, and Lee Myung-jae's We Are the Zombies have been honored as the '2022 Today's Korean Comics' selected by the Korea Cartoonists Association and the Korea Manhwa Contents Agency.

According to the Association and the Agency, five outstanding works were selected from those serialized or published more than 20 times between September of the previous year and August of this year.

The selection committee stated, "There were many excellent works that met the judging criteria of completeness, creativity, and contemporaneity, making it difficult to rank them. Among them, we chose works that naturally drew readers into the author's world with a faithful personal worldview and philosophy rather than works that competed with ingenuity."

The committee also noted, "Especially, the works selected this year are outstanding not only in popularity and artistic quality but also in reflecting today's society and enabling a new understanding of the worlds of others and oneself."

The award ceremony is scheduled to be held at 5 p.m. on the 3rd of next month at the Daejeon eSports Stadium during the 22nd Manhwa Day celebration. Each of the five selected works will receive the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award and a prize of 5 million won.
