Kakao Entertainment announced on the 29th that it will exclusively unveil the new web novel by author Kim Su-ji, who is the first Korean web novel writer to appear on the New York Times bestseller list with 'Under the Oak Tree.'
Kakao Entertainment said it will release author Kim Su-ji's new web novel 'Forgotten Fields' on May 4th at 6 p.m. on KakaoPage. 'Forgotten Fields' has generated significant attention among fans right after the writing plan was announced. It is the latest work by Kim Su-ji, who gained immense popularity both domestically and globally with 'Under the Oak Tree,' which ranked first in five countries including the U.S. after its publication on Amazon in 2022. It is also a work that shares the same universe as the previous work.
The web novel 'Forgotten Fields' tells the fateful story of Princess Talia Roem Guirta, born from an affair, and the Eastern nobleman Barkas Raedgo Shierkan, who is loved by all as the heir to the Grand Duke. The work promises to unfold poignant and moving episodes centered around characters who each carry hidden wounds in their hearts. The first episode of 'Forgotten Fields,' which was pre-released alongside 'Under the Oak Tree,' has already garnered great attention by ranking 7th in the KakaoPage web novel romance fantasy weekly ranking with just one episode.
'Forgotten Fields' is expected to synergize with 'Under the Oak Tree,' which was released on the KakaoPage on the 19th. The work, which has been documenting records daily as proof of interest, exceeded 1 million views within just four hours of its release and reached 4.64 million views in just one day on the 20th, following the launch. It consistently held the 1st place in the overall daily ranking of KakaoPage novels from April 20th to 21st.
An event will be held to commemorate the launch of 'Forgotten Fields.' From the 4th to the 17th, simultaneous 'raffle events' and 'attendance events' will be held for readers enjoying 'Forgotten Fields' and 'Under the Oak Tree.' The raffle event is designed so that the more a reader enjoys the two works, the higher the chance of winning. Additionally, an attendance event will be held to gift all readers who have viewed 'Forgotten Fields' more than one episode with a daily lottery ticket worth up to 1,000 won.
