3. Is there a real connection with the EnHyPen MVs?
Absolutely! the universe of Dark Moon It is transmedia. the music videos of ‘Drunk-Dazed’ and ‘Tamed-Dashed’ They were the first teasers visuals of this story before the Webtoon existed. Later songs like ‘One in a Billion’ and ‘Criminal Love’ They are officially the OST (soundtrack) of the Webtoon, and their lyrics narrate the vampire’s obsession with Sooha.
4. Why was the first installment so successful outside the fandom?
Expert analysis points to two factors:
- Art quality: The drawing style of Dark Moon It is higher than the average of promotional webtoons.
- The ‘Twilight Nostalgia’ factor: The story revived the trope of ‘Academy + Vampires + Werewolves’ which was massive in the 2000, attracting Western readers who do not necessarily listen K-pop But they love supernatural romance (Urban Fantasy High Teen Romance).

6. What does the title ‘The Blood Altar’ really mean?
In the first season, the ‘Blood Altar’ was not just a place, but a reference to the prophecy that the protagonist’s blood (Sooha) was the key to gaining immense power or destroying the world. The plot revolved around protecting it from being ‘sacrificed’ on said altar.
7. Is the Webtoon the only way to read Dark Moon’s story?
Not. Hybe simultaneously launched a WebNovel (written novel) on Wattpad and Naver. Diety fans know that the written novel is usually much more descriptive and sometimes contains scenes or internal thoughts of the characters that the visual format of the webtoon omits by space.
8. What role does ‘Decelis Academy’ play?
It is the main stage. It is a strict night school where the seven vampire boys attend. In the Lore, this academy has a policy of ‘zero tolerance’ with werewolves, which generates the social conflict based on the plot: a segregation of species in a school environment.
9. Is Sooha just a ‘damsel in trouble’?
At first it looked like it, but Hybe subverted the cliché. It was revealed that Sooha has a huge force (capable of lifting heavy objects with one hand) and a mysterious past linked to ancient vampiric royalty, making her a living weapon rather than a simple victim.
