A masterpiece of the era that caused the greatest sensation in the 90s
Korean-style occult urban dark fantasy series 'The Exorcist'

In the 90s, the terms 'exorcist' and 'exorcism' were unfamiliar and the subject matter was limited to exorcism. The 'Exorcism Record' series pioneered a new genre called the Korean occult by expanding the theme to encompass various religions and ideologies such as Taoism, qigong, Christianity, secret religions, Druidry (magic, indigenous religion), shamanism, and guardian spirits.


The meticulous research that underpinned the creation of a vast worldview and narrative, and in the process, the story itself was not to be missed, with vivid, living, breathing characters and tense action scenes, providing a freshness that could not be seen anywhere else at the time.

The 'Exorcism Record' series, which has fulfilled its role as a 'page turner' by 200%, has been loved by readers as a sensational masterpiece of the era since its serialization on the PC communication service HiTel in the 90s and has been published as a single volume.
Not only that, it is also considered a textbook-like work that has had a significant influence on major occult works such as movies and books that have been attracting attention in the Korean market to this day.

From animation and webtoon production to live-action film production,
Even though it has transformed into various forms over the decades,
The fun and excitement of the original continues!

Even before the February 2025 release of the animated film "The Exorcist," which took five years to produce with the utmost perfection in story adaptation and animation, the original novel series "The Exorcist" was adapted into various forms, such as webtoons and movies.
Its power lies in the fun of the original story.


The story of four exorcists who unite people of all ages, genders, and worlds and religions, risking their lives to fight evil with only compassion for humanity, is still heartwarming even after decades have passed.
In an age where pure compassion for humanity is gradually disappearing, the reckless actions of these four exorcists give us food for thought about what kind of heart we should have for people today.


The author, who also demonstrates his talent as an excellent storyteller, presents splendid action and immersive dramatic developments in each episode, a fun experience that can only be found in the 'Exorcism Record' series.
That is precisely why, despite its massive 16 volumes since its publication, only one in five Koreans has been able to read it.

The 'Exorcism Record' series, which still evokes nostalgia among die-hard fans, is ready to embrace a new generation with the new 'third spin-off'.
Author Woohyuk Lee, who is working on the second chapter of the 'Exorcism Record' series, 'New Exorcism Record (tentative title)', aiming for sequential release in 2026, said, "In the new series, we plan to introduce a large number of new characters with abilities that surpass imagination, targeting the next generation of readers who enjoyed the existing Exorcism Record.
In the process, this third side story will serve as an important bridge.
“After reading this new side story, the new series, “New Exorcism Record (tentative title),” will be even more enjoyable,” he asserts.

For this reason, any reader who has enjoyed the 'Exorcism Record' series even once will be happy to dive into the world of the new series and the first 'Exorcism Record' series before the new series is released.
