Where it came from
Itaewon Class originated as a webtoon written and illustrated by Kwang Jin, serialized on the Daum Webtoon platform starting in 2016. The story was conceived during a period of rising interest in underdog narratives within South Korean digital comics, focusing on themes of revenge, entrepreneurship, and social justice in the eclectic neighborhood of Itaewon. Kwang Jin utilized the setting to mirror the rapid urban development and shifting social dynamics of Seoul, grounding the protagonist Park Sae-ro-yi’s quest for justice in the competitive landscape of the restaurant industry.
The visual design of the webtoon is characterized by a stark, gritty aesthetic that emphasizes the intensity of the characters' ambitions and the stark reality of their struggles. The work gained significant traction for its realistic portrayal of societal hierarchies and the resilience of its characters, eventually bridging the gap between digital readership and mainstream media. Its success led to a highly popular television adaptation, which further cemented the series as a significant entry in modern manhwa that explores the tension between personal integrity and corporate power.
