Kakao Entertainment announced Crocodile, a new action noir webtoon by MEEN and Hellbound artist Kyoo-seok Choi, will launch on Kakao Page on September 5. The story follows In-hoo Jung, released from prison after serving 10 years for murder, who becomes entangled with the family of his victim when the wife asks him to protect her son. Set in Busan, it explores revenge, redemption, and the meaning of life.
The two creators have not worked together before, and the announcement marks their first joint project. Choi co-created Hellbound with director Sang-ho Yeon. MEEN has built a reputation in action noir with series such as Tong, Blood Rain, and the Dokgo series. Crocodile follows In-hoo Jung after his release from prison, where a request from his victim's wife pulls him into protecting her son. Kakao Entertainment says the series combines action with a gritty noir atmosphere and character-driven storytelling.
