This week, we are diving into two series from creator Han Kyoung Chal. First, we have the slice-of-life WEBTOON, Winter Breeze . The story follows Haena, who has decided to leave her hometown and be an unbothered queen in Seoul. On her way to the city, she has a fateful encounter with Dohwa that leaves her preoccupied with him for the next two years. When fate brings the two back together at a new photo studio, the two begin to wonder if this is the start of something more.
Winter Breeze is Chal's newest series on WEBTOON, and although it's currently only a few chapters in, it's definitely worth picking up right away. We love a good slice-of-life series that features older characters instead of high schoolers. The ability to tackle more mature storylines allows us to resonate with the character. A fresh start in a new city is something people constantly dream about. Tie in the potential for romance, and the series is sure to be a must-read on our list.
Winter Breeze updates every Sunday. Readers can find it on the official WEBTOON page.

This week's next series is Chal's romance, Our Beloved Summer . This one follows Yeonsu and Wung, two students at Midsummer High. And while they are both students, they couldn't be more different from each other. When a filmmaker decides to use the school as the backdrop of their documentary, the two are forced to spend a significant amount of time together. And while neither is thrilled with the idea at first, as time passes and the two learn more about each other, things begin to change in ways they never thought.
Chal's second series, Our Beloved Summer , has been a romance WEBTOON that we have recommended on more than one occasion. While we usually don't go for romance stories that focus on the 'opposites attract' trope, the slice-of-life aspect within this series makes it more believable. It's not that the two are complete opposites, but they don't know each other well enough to recognize their similarities. Once you've finished binge-reading the series, we suggest checking out the live-action adaptation.
Our Beloved Summer is complete. Readers can find it on the official WEBTOON page.

Indian manufacturing growth eases to 3-month low in May, PMI shows
BENGALURU (Reuters) - India's manufacturing growth slowed to a three-month low in May as demand softened amid price pressures and geopolitical tensions but job creation hit a record high, a survey showed on Monday. Solid manufacturing growth has helped India's economy outperform its major peers. Asia's third-largest economy grew 7.4% last quarter from a year earlier, the fastest expansion since early 2024 and much quicker than a Reuters poll median estimate of 6.7%. The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, fell to 57.6 in May from 58.2 in April, lower than a preliminary estimate of 58.3, but still well above the 50.0 level that separates growth from contraction. "India's May manufacturing PMI signalled another month of robust growth in the sector, although the rate of expansion in output and new orders eased from the previous month," said Pranjul Bhandari, chief India economist at HSBC. The expansion in new orders - a key gauge of demand - eased to a three-month low but remained historically strong, supported by healthy domestic consumption and international sales. Output growth decelerated to its weakest pace since February, though manufacturers maintained positive sentiment about the year ahead. Job creation was one major bright spot, with manufacturers increasing hiring at the fastest pace in the survey's history, with permanent positions being created more frequently than temporary roles. "The acceleration in employment growth to a new peak is certainly a positive development," Bhandari said. Cost pressures intensified during May, with input price inflation climbing to a six-month high. Manufacturers passed these costs on to customers, with output price inflation among the highest in over 11 years. Growing price pressures could complicate monetary policy decisions for the Reserve Bank of India, which has already cut its key repo rate by a cumulative 50 basis points this year as overall inflation remains below the RBI's 4.0% target. The central bank is expected to cut interest rates on June 6 for a third consecutive meeting and once more in August, a Reuters poll showed last week. Sign in to access your portfolio

South Korea's presidential candidates rally in final campaign stretch
Candidates running in South Korea's snap presidential election stage made a last push for votes on Monday, the eve of a poll triggered by the ex-leader Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration. South Koreans are desperate to draw a line under six months of political turmoil sparked by Yoon's brief suspension of civilian rule in December, for which he was impeached and removed from office. All major polls put liberal Lee Jae-myung well ahead in the presidential race, with the latest Gallup survey showing 49 percent of respondents viewed him as the best candidate. Conservative Kim Moon-soo, from the People Power Party (PPP) -- Yoon's former party -- trailed Lee on 35 percent. Both candidates have framed the campaign as a fight for the soul of the nation. Lee is set to spend much of his final day of campaigning in his old stomping grounds of Gyeonggi Province -- where he previously served as governor and built much of his support base. He will then head to Seoul's Yeouido, where the "revolution of light began", according to his party -- a reference to a standoff between lawmakers and soldiers during the ill-fated martial law declaration. "From the place where the revolution of light began, we envision a future for South Korea, one that ends internal strife, overcomes insurrection, and emerges as a leading global economic power," a spokeswoman for Lee's Democratic Party said. Conservative Kim began his final campaign push from the southernmost tip of the country, Jeju Island, before making his way north and wrapping up in Seoul's hip Gangnam district where he is set to meet with young voters. Dominating the headlines of the last day of campaigning are allegations the Democratic Party fabricated an endorsement of Lee by veteran Singapore-based investor Jim Rogers. The Democratic Party said on Friday that Rogers described Lee as "a leader who can open a new chapter of peace, prosperity, and global leadership". But local media quoted him as telling them he had "not endorsed anyone in Korea ever", saying "Mr Lee is making things up". Rogers did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment. - 'Dark campaign' - Despite the controversy, experts say Lee remains the strong favourite to win. "The presidential race has effectively become a contest between Lee Jae-myung and those rallying against him," Kang Joo-hyun, a political science professor at Sookmyung Women's University, told AFP. "The most recent polls show that Lee has consistently maintained a lead near or just below the majority threshold," she added. South Korea has entered a so-called "dark campaign period" -- meaning the results of public opinion polls are barred from being disclosed although pollsters are still conducting surveys. Over a third of voters have already cast their ballots, taking advantage of two days of early voting last week, according to the National Election Commission. The winner of the June 3 election takes office the following day on a single five-year term, with no transition period. hs/oho/hmn
