Misaeng, the acclaimed webtoon by Yoon Tae-ho, follows the journey of individuals as they skillfully navigate through the complexities of modern life, using strategic planning to overcome every obstacle and emerge victorious. Through the game of baduk, the author brilliantly draws parallels to the cut-throat world of Korean corporate culture, highlighting the struggles of his flawed characters while they confront intense competition, office politics, and personal relationships. The webtoon has gained a huge following amongst Korean office workers in their twenties and thirties for its honest depiction of their own experiences. Misaeng has received critical acclaim, with 1 billion hits recorded during its online publication from September 2012 to October 2013 on Daum, and 900,000 copies sold in paperback form.
