Ize Press has announced that the English print edition of the 7FATES: CHAKHO webnovel will be released for the first time in English on October 7, 2025. Both the webnovel and its connected webcomic of the same name are a collaboration between HYBE and South Korean boyband BTS.
The print novel will be released as a standalone volume in hardcover format, and will include photos of the BTS members.
The 7FATES: CHAKHO webnovel first began its digital serialization in 2022 and received more than 5.1 million views on Wattpad for English and Spanish readers, and an additional 1.6 million views on the WEBTOON platform for Indonesian and Thai readers. Meanwhile, the webcomic has been released and translated into ten different languages on WEBTOON.
An anime short film based on the webtoon series from CloverWorks was released this past April. It featured an original story and had an 11-minute runtime.
Ize Press describes the main synopsis of the 7FATES: CHAKHO webnovel as:
It all begins when Zeha wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there. Retracing his steps, he stumbles onto a terrible truth—the city is under attack by otherworldly monsters called the Beom, and at the center of it all is Zeha himself! But thankfully, he does not stand alone. Others who have bravely taken up the fight cross paths with Zeha, seemingly drawn to each other by fate. The seven hunters band together to defend their home, but they soon begin to realize that the Beom invasion is only the beginning…
Ize Press also teased that more English print editions of original stories by HYBE, such as THE STAR SEEKERS and DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR, would also be released before the end of 2025, both of which will also contain photos of K-pop groups TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN, respectively.
