Viral Hit Is A Must-Read Modern Classic

In this episode of Den of Otaku, Den of Geek’s official anime and Japanese pop culture discussion series, we’re going all in on Taejun Pak and Kim Junghyun’s Viral Hit, from WEBTOON Unscrolled. We break down why Viral Hit is such an exciting and timely series, why it’s such a rich character study of a complex modern protagonist, and why it’s the perfect contemporary title that critiques and subverts society with eerie prescience. This Viral Hit deep dive will also deconstruct the title’s rampant popularity and why its many international adaptations are proof that it’s set to be one of the biggest hits of the 2020s. Plus, a special edition of “The Big 3” takes a lot at the connected world of Taejun Pak’s other hit WEBTOON titles, Lookism, My Life as a Loser, and Tales of Greed. Learn more about your ad choices.
