A collaboration webtoon for the movie 'High Five' will be released.
On the 21st, the production team of the movie 'High Five' (directed by Kang Hyung-cheol, provided/distributed by NEW, produced by Annapurna Film) announced that they will exclusively unveil a special webtoon created by popular webtoon artist Jiddoong, done in collaboration with Kakao Entertainment, on Kakao Page and Kakao Webtoon.
'High Five' is a comic action film that depicts the story of five individuals who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplants, encountering those who are after their abilities. The movie's production team is conducting a unique collaboration with Kakao Page and Kakao Webtoon, releasing spoiler cuts to capture attention. This special webtoon will be presented by webtoon artist Jiddoong, known for popular action fantasy genres such as 'Labor's True Color,' which has accumulated 100 million views, along with 'The True Color of Lee Jang' and 'Six Gaps: Six Differences.' The meeting of the comic action film 'High Five,' featuring the ingenious motif of superpowers transplanted alongside organs, and artist Jiddoong, known for his distinctive comic sensibility, is expected to evoke immersion in the superpower world, appealing effectively to MZ audience tastes.
The special webtoon for 'High Five,' set to be unveiled this time, is a prequel webtoon dealing with the origin of the mysterious organ donor who passed on superpowers to the characters in the film. It intricately weaves a narrative about the source of superpowers stemming from the primordial god who governs human order and chaos, encompassing the stories of those who inherit and those who seek to take away that power, providing an irresistible immersion. In particular, the cave sequence in the latter part serves as an important connection linking the worlds of the movie and the webtoon, allowing for enhanced enjoyment of details when viewing the film after reading the webtoon and vice versa. Jiddoong stated, "Inspired by the movie 'High Five,' I have created a special webtoon with my own story. It was an enjoyable task, and I hope you enjoy it," adding to the uniqueness of this collaboration.
The special webtoon for 'High Five' will be released on the 26th at 11 a.m. on Kakao Page and Kakao Webtoon, with a total of three episodes available. The movie will be released in theaters on the 30th.
