Ize Press announced that it will be releasing English print editions of HYBE webnovels THE STAR SEEKERS and DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR before the end of the 2025.
THE STAR SEEKERS print novel will be released on November 4, 2025, while DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR print novel will be released on December 2, 2025. Both print releases will be offered as thick hardcover tomes, each containing the complete fantasy stories and photos of the respective band members in one standalone volume.
Each novel also has a webcomic edition of the same name, originally digitally serialized simultaneously with the webnovels. The complete comic series for all three titles are now available in print from Ize Press.
THE STAR SEEKERS webnovel was made in collaboration with South Korean group TOMORROW X TOGETHER, while DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR is a collaboration with boy band ENHYPEN.
The two new print releases follow the announcement that Ize Press would publish BTS’ 7FATES: CHAKHO webnovel in print on October 7, 2025.
All three titles were digitally serialized in 2022 on Wattpad and WEBTOON worldwide.
Ize Press describes the main synopsis of both titles as:
THE STAR SEEKERS
In an age when magic idols reign supreme, all Star One has going for them is their incredible work ethic. Though the five members have been giving it their all for the past three years, their lack of magic remains a hopelessly insurmountable wall, and with their fans dwindling, it seems to be the end of the road for their careers—or so they think, until they suddenly manifest the powers they’d been dreaming of! It’s finally the big break the group was hoping for, but when a mysterious group of hostile individuals attacks them, Star One realizes just how special they are. The fate of the world seems to rest on their shoulders—whether they want it to or not!
DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR
The seven most popular boys at Decelis Academy all share a secret—they’re vampires. Keeping their identities concealed and dealing with their werewolf rivals is trouble enough, but the appearance of a mysterious new student only further complicates things. The girl, Sooha, also has hidden powers, and the boys can’t help but feel an inexplicable attraction to her. As Sooha and the vampires find themselves increasingly drawn toward each other, murky pasts and intertwined futures threaten to turn their world upside down. Just what fate awaits them under the dark moon…?
