Webtoon by grandson of Chun Doo-hwan depicts family’s dark past, draws 67.8 million views

Jeon Woo-won, the 30-year-old grandson of former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, said he was “stunned and overwhelmed” after his autobiographical webtoon amassed more than 67.8 million views, drawing widespread attention online for its candid portrayal of his family’s dark past. The webtoon, titled “Mongletoon,” is serialized on Jeon’s social media account and recounts episodes from his life, including family conflict, school bullying and drug addiction. “I never imagined so many people would relate to it and show such interest,” Jeon said in an Instagram post on March 23. “I am just surprised and overwhelmed.” According to statistics he shared, his Instagram content recorded a total of 67,804,452 views over a three-month period from Nov. 17 last year to Feb. 14. The surge in views appears to be driven by the popularity of “Mongletoon,” which has released 51 episodes since December. “When I look at the numbers, it doesn’t feel real,” he said. “It reminds me that this is something I could never have achieved on my own.” Created using artificial intel
