Concerning health survey focuses on Solo Leveling
A new survey from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency is making waves within the webtoon community.
The report by the Khan Korea outlet, shared on Twitter by Manhwabang, claimed that 28.7% of manhwa writers admitted to having depression, with notably higher patterns of suicidal thoughts compared to the national average.
Additionally, manhwa creators were more likely to develop anxiety, sleep disorders, and muscle disorders, with 51% of the surveyed writers claiming their monthly income was between just $1600 and $3200 USD.
“The first case being the more well known case of “Solo Leveling” artist Seongrak Jang (Dubu), who died in ’22 due to a brain hemorrhage connected to chronic illness. Some in the industry say that this occurred due to poor work conditions, despite the existence of labor unions.” – Manhwabang.
Comicbook notes that whilst “Korean manhwa industry suffers from some infamous issues in the manga sphere,” this is not an issue limited to Korea.
“Creators like Yoshihiro Togashi of Hunter x Hunter have developed chronic health issues because of their careers. And sadly, it seems this phenomenon is now being witnessed in other countries that have embraced manga’s meteoric rise.” – Comicbook.
