Yuhan Corporation to Launch Webtoon Series on Dr. Ilhan New for 100th Anniversary

"NEW Ilhan" Webtoon to Launch on March 1

A Fresh Look at the Life of an Independence Activist and Entrepreneur

"Presented as a Mentoring Example for the Younger Generation"

Yuhan Corporation announced on February 27 that it will release an original webtoon highlighting the spirit and achievements of its founder, Dr. Ilhan New, in celebration of the company's 100th anniversary.

The webtoon, titled "NEW Ilhan" and produced in collaboration with artist Yoon Taeho, consists of a total of eight episodes and will be serialized every Sunday on KakaoPage starting from March 1. The series sheds light on the life of Dr. Ilhan New, who made significant choices at critical turning points in history as both an independence activist and an entrepreneur.

What distinguishes this work is its use of a drama production presentation (PT) format, moving beyond a simple chronological narration or listing of achievements. The story follows a character who recommends and evaluates Dr. Ilhan New, gradually unfolding his values, decisions, and the historical context of his era. Each episode centers around a specific theme or case, with a focus on the decision-making process in each installment.

A Yuhan Corporation official stated, "This webtoon was planned to make the spirit and achievements of our founder, Dr. Ilhan New, more accessible to the public. We hope that the younger generation will encounter Dr. Ilhan New's life and choices as a mentoring case, inspiring them to envision a better future."
