Korean streaming platform LAFTEL will launch an animated adaptation of the horror-romance webtoon Red Fox on May 19. The company recently unveiled a teaser video, which is age-restricted and only available to watch on YouTube.
The story of Red Fox reads:
Welcome to Ibana, a beautiful country also known as the red country. Here, lives the Red Fox, a wily beast who takes on the form of a human and feasts on the livers of humans. For hundreds of years, the fox kills without hesitation until, thanks to one human woman, it comes to know what that human emotion called "love," truly is. Out of the land of fire, erupts the cruel yet tragic love story of one evil spirit who yearns to possess the heart of one human woman.
Originally written and illustrated by HAMA, the Red Fox webtoon was serialized on various platforms, including Naver Series and Kakao Webtoon, between 2013 and 2015. Though previously available in English on Tappytoon and other platforms, the series was removed from the platforms. While readers who purchased the series on some platforms retain access, it is currently not available for new readers.
Red Fox will premiere exclusively on LAFTEL in Korea on May 19. There are no confirmed plans for an international release at this time.
