Summary
Death Code is a Korean manhwa (webtoon) that follows the story of Kyung-min, a bullied student with low self-esteem, who one day receives an invitation to a mysterious chatroom called “DeathCord.” In this chatroom, anonymous users can vote on who will be executed. Each participant has their own reasons for wanting someone to die, but when one of them becomes the target of the death penalty, the game turns into a fight for survival as they begin to uncover each other’s identities. The manhwa explores themes of psychological horror, mystery, and survival in a brutal game where the only way out is through elimination.
