The Korean Cultural Center in Hungary will present a new exhibition titled ‘Taste of Manhwa’ between 29 September 2023 and 31 January 2024.

The works in this exhibition include comics that were published as books after being serialized as webtoons, and vice versa. So regardless of the medium in which the stories were published, they are all manhwas, or comics that are distinctively Korean. Ha Minseok's children's comics bring the witty, imaginative and adventurous world of classic Korean children's comics to life, yet in a distinct authorial style. The comics by Lee Yoonhee, Ancco, Hong Yeonsik and Ma Youngshin are outstanding in both illustration and text. The genre characteristics of the teen comic, action, martial arts, romance and fantasy elements all appear in these works. Sooshinji’s Sarin, the daughter-in-law, has appeared in a series on the author's social media platforms, independent of webtoon platforms, where it quickly gained popularity.

A Book Talk will be organized with the artist as part of the International Book Festival in Budapest. The event will take place on 30 September in Európa Pont. 

The exhibition can be visited in the opening hours of the Korean Cultural Center in Budapest for free of charge.
