The Hellbound manhwa volume 1 features story by Yeon Sang-Ho, the director of the film Train to Busan, and art by Choi Gyu-Seok with translation by Danny Lim.

Fear and panic spread as a sinister phenomenon marks individuals for certain death.

One day, you will receive a message from an unknown sender. The message will only include your name, the fact that you are going to hell, and the time you have left to live. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide—no escape. When the time counts down to zero, supernatural beings manifest to condemn you to hell. As the nation falls into unrest, a new religious sect begins to interpret the bizarre occurrence as the will of the divine. Could this be a sign of something grander—a blessing in disguise, a holy reckoning, or an evil curse? Amid social chaos and increasing hysteria, the people must find a way to survive this inexplicable terror.
