HYEB announced BTS's new webtoon 7Fates: CHAKHO and members introduced their characters for the same.

7Fates: CHAKHO  is an urban fantasy story inspired by the tiger hunters of the Joseon Dynasty.  South Korea was once home to a high population of Siberian tigers, to the point of being overrun. Tiger attacks became so common that in 1421, King Sejong introduced Chakhogapsa, the tiger hunters. The Chakhogapsa were specially appointed soldiers who had proved their hunting abilities, including the accuracy of hitting targets while riding horses.
