Gap-dong’s special webtoon high on chills and thrills
by javabeans
To amp up the creepy factor in anticipation of its upcoming premiere, tvN’s chilling murder-mystery-crime thriller Gap-dong has released a special corresponding webtoon on its website, which you can see here: http://giftmap.interest.me/View/1905. Be sure to scroll all the way down!
Now that you’ve been thoroughly creeped out (if you say you weren’t surprised, I refuse to believe you), on to the description: The webtoon is set in Gap-dong’s fictional world where the serial killer went on a rampage twenty years ago and then went underground. Yoon Sang-hyun heads our cast as the detective out to track him down once and for all (clearing his father’s name in the process), just as Gap-dong resurfaces to strike again.
In the first teaser below, our hero deduces that Gap-dong is once more on the hunt (“fishing for people again”), and grizzled veteran cop Sung Dong-il sounds like he’s looking forward to tracking him down this time. The killer’s methods have grown even more violent, the caption tells us, and the story offers us “constant twists.” Kim Min-jung’s character (a calm shrink by day, a mysterious seductress by night) guesses that Gap-dong will have changed, and that he won’t be the same killer of twenty years ago.
Gap-dong premieres on April 11 and will air on Friday and Saturday nights for a total of 20 episodes.

That webtoon scared me ... TWICE! (And I didn't even know what was said!) If the show is half as creepy and suspenseful, I am going to thoroughly enjoy the ride. So looking forward to this.

Holy cow, that webtoon freaked the bejeezus out of me! I kept thinking this show was going to be creepy, but if the webtoon was an indication of the creepiness level, I don't think my initial plan of blanket, pillow, and watching through my fingers in a brightly lit room will work. I definitely need to convince someone to watch this with me. Oh man, I'm excited and scared at the same time!

Honestly the webtoon freaks me twice (esp im reading it at night with lights off). I don't even need the captions to be translated to get so freaked out. FML. But if this is the standard of freakiness I'm going to get, I'm so gonna be excited with the quality Gap-dong will bring when I'm watching it! Bring it on yo!

Just an advice, but maybe you should put a jump scare warning in the article, before sending people there?
There are those who might not know this is a common practice in Korean suspense/horror webtoons or even know animation is used in them (although it is technically not an animation). And some people are not good with jump scares and might have heart or other health problems.
I am usually not a fan of spoiling an experience, but when something many people have issue with is involved, I prefer to keep them safe.
As for the webtoon and the series, very interesting way to promote it with the use of other media and this just adds to its so far impressive campaign.

Support this. I'm no stranger to jump scares (read a korean horror webtoon with a similar effect before) but I still dislike such effects.
There is horror through suspense, and then there is jump-scaring. I appreciate the former, and while the latter gets me really agitated it's pretty eh once the initial 'scare' passes. 0/10, would never read again.

So creepted out watchign that weebtoon because i didn't expect it..curious fi the webtoon is the same as the one used in the show and that will connect things up based on the things we know so far...
i think it is,the webtoon girl has one that is named Gapdong and will be the abducted by the present killer and from there they will see it and look for answers so i guess they will connect it...
man my heart really jumped! and @orion has a point in what she said,i myself have heart problems so for sure my pulse jumped even higer than it is

Thoroughly creeped out after watching scrolling through the webtoon - in broad daylight...if that's any indication on how creepy the actual drama will be...well looks like I'm going to have to convince someone to watch with me!

Thanks for making me even more excited for this show!
This is really an awesome teaser for their show! But their ad campaign has been good in general.
Argh I already can't wait for the first episode.

Slowly scroll down the page, as if you're reading it. I think the first one happens when the killer rushes towards her. They use a technique where the page jumps down to reveal a "pop-up" animation (achieved by placing all frames in the page and using some script to make the page scroll through them) in scary parts, complete with sound.
That can shock a lot of people who do not know this is done in webtoons or even those who do. They have a right to be warned about this, if they have health issues that make it necessary to avoid such "thrills".

omfg I knew it was going to move and I had my sound off. I had my eyes partly covered and I still jumped omg. I don't like watching scary movies but this sounds really interesting so I might watch it. At daytime. With loud music playing just in case.

The picture TOTALLY popped out (with high quality volume, which made it creepieerrrr)! So unexpected. Jeez, my heart literally popped out too.
It should've came with a warning like:
(WARNING: DO NOT, WHAT-SO-EVER, NEVER EVER, CLICK THE LINK UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH.)

Well that freaked me out. The first jump-scare thing made me let out a small scream and I hid my head into my pillow. I couldn't scroll the rest of the way down and just closed the tab.
I will def. NOT be watching this.

Can someone tell me what happened in the webtoon?
I guessed the killer made two girls play rock paper and scissors and killed one and came after the other, what happened after that ?

yeah I think it's the sound effect that does the trick more than anything.
I watched it once without the sound but heard a noise coming from my headphones so I thought: man, did I miss the fun? So I scrolled again with my headphones on and sure enough, I jumped.
I have the same reaction when I'm working alone in my room in silence and I suddenly get a text.
But creepy it is, that's for sure!

Well, that made me jump and I don't scare easy with movies or tv.
I can already tell this will be one of those rare occasions where this spoiler lover will avoid spoilers. I think the avoidance of spoilers has only happened maybe for 3 or 4 dramas total for me and I've watched a LOT of them.
I am soooo looking forward to watching this it's not even funny. I hope I'm not disappointed.

Umm yeah, that webtoon made me jump a few times. x__x;;
First time experiencing those jump-scare effects.
It was good that I looked at it during the daytime tho. xD
I really want to watch Gap Dong, but I don't want it to be too violent....
