Troll Trap

Troll Trap is a manhwa series written and illustrated by Lee Won-Seek, published primarily through the digital platform Naver Webtoon. Emerging during a period where web-based comics began to dominate the Korean creative landscape, the series functions as a dark fantasy thriller that subverts traditional fairy tale tropes. It was conceived to explore the psychological tension between humans and hidden, predatory creatures living among them, reflecting the author's interest in blending horror elements with complex character dynamics.

The artistic style of the series is noted for its sharp, dramatic linework and effective use of color to build a sense of looming dread. Lee Won-Seek intended the visual narrative to emphasize the vulnerability of the protagonists against the calculated, often disguised threats of the trolls. Upon its release, it gained attention for its grim tone and was recognized within the webtoon community for moving away from the more lighthearted or purely romantic genres that often populated the digital serial space at the time.
