Hey Mike it's Adam. You're so very welcome for the Subterranean Press gift of Golden Son. Your gratitude and thanks overflows my cup with more happiness than I can write in words. Thank you for supporting the small family business that I work for in Kalamazoo and taking the time to link the website down below. Have a very Merry Christmas, and I was overjoyed to be your Santa Clause this year! :)

Mike! Hybe is the company built by the success of BTS. The Seven Fates of Chakho is the BTS manhwa with characters and storylines designed by the BTS members. BTS has been evolving into more than one of the most successful bands in the world for some time now. In particular they wanted to have things to fill their media space while they are participating in their mandatory military service. Hybe clearly has yet to master the best way to approach BookTube influencers but they learn quickly. I suspect they will provide a whole package next time.
