“Oh! Dangun” is a unique manhwa that blends fantasy, comedy, and supernatural action in a world where abandoned animals seek to become human. The story follows Narae, a high school girl who stumbles upon a secret society of creatures forsaken by the legendary figure Dangun. In exchange for the chance to transform into full-fledged humans, these beings must exorcise evil spirits. Narae becomes entangled in their quest, uncovering secrets about their past, the supernatural world, and the true meaning of humanity. With humorous and heartfelt moments, “Oh! Dangun” explores themes of identity, redemption, and the struggle for acceptance.


Chapter 1: Narae’s Discovery of the Hidden World

Narae is an ordinary high school student with a mundane life. That changes when she encounters a mysterious event that reveals the existence of a hidden society. In an abandoned alleyway, she witnesses a cat momentarily transforming into a human before reverting to its feline form. Shocked, she investigates further and discovers that animals abandoned by Dangun live in secrecy among humans.

These creatures have only partially transformed, possessing humanlike traits but still retaining their original forms. They dream of becoming fully human, but there’s a condition: they must exorcise evil spirits to prove their worthiness. Narae is initially skeptical, but when she accidentally interferes with an exorcism, she finds herself dragged into their world.


Chapter 2: Meeting the Forsaken Beings

As Narae becomes entangled in their affairs, she meets a variety of creatures, each with unique personalities and quirks. There’s:

Jisoo, a fox who retains a mischievous streak, often playing tricks on humans but deeply longing for acceptance.

Haneul, a once-proud wolf who struggles with his animal instincts despite appearing mostly human.

Mimi, a bird who still possesses wings and dreams of soaring the skies in human form.

Through these characters, Narae learns that they have suffered discrimination, rejection, and the pain of abandonment. Despite their comical antics, each has a tragic past that fuels their desire to change.


Chapter 3: The Contract with Kim Oran

In the shadows of this supernatural society exists Kim Oran, a powerful exorcist with the ability to grant full transformation. She offers the forsaken beings a deal—if they can successfully exorcise a certain number of evil spirits, she will grant them full humanity. However, failure means remaining stuck in their half-formed states forever.

Narae, despite her reluctance, is pulled into this contract. Her ability to see these supernatural events, something rare among ordinary humans, makes her a valuable asset. Though she has no combat skills, she is now a part of their mission whether she likes it or not.


Chapter 4: First Steps into Exorcism

The group’s first official mission begins as they track down a low-level spirit haunting an abandoned building. Although confident at first, they soon realize that exorcism is not as simple as they expected.

Jisoo’s foxfire misfires, nearly burning the place down.

Haneul struggles to suppress his beastly instincts, nearly attacking Narae in the process.

Mimi panics, flying around uncontrollably instead of focusing on the spirit.

Narae, forced to think quickly, figures out a way to manipulate the spirit’s weaknesses. With teamwork and her unexpected quick wit, they barely succeed. This mission serves as their wake-up call—they need serious training if they hope to survive future exorcisms.


Chapter 5: The Training Arc Begins

Kim Oran assigns the group rigorous training to hone their abilities. Each character must confront their weaknesses and learn to control their powers.

Jisoo practices precise control over her foxfire, turning it into an effective weapon rather than a chaotic force.

Haneul learns meditation techniques to suppress his violent urges.

Mimi works on balancing her human instincts with her birdlike agility, making her an effective aerial fighter.

Narae, despite having no supernatural powers, studies ancient exorcism techniques, developing strategies that allow her to assist in battle. Her intelligence and adaptability make her a key strategist for the team.


Chapter 6: Confronting the First Major Spirit

The group’s training is put to the test when they encounter a powerful vengeful spirit haunting an old school. Unlike the minor spirits they faced before, this one actively fights back, attacking with dark energy and illusions.

The team struggles, their inexperience showing as they get separated in the fight.

Narae, trapped in an illusion, is forced to confront her fears and doubts about her place in this supernatural world.

Jisoo, using newfound control over her foxfire, finds the spirit’s weakness and lands a decisive blow.

Though battered and exhausted, they manage to exorcise the spirit. This victory solidifies their bond and proves that they are more than just a group of misfits—they are becoming a real team.


Chapter 7: Unraveling the Past of the Forsaken

As their journey continues, Narae learns more about why these beings were abandoned by Dangun.

Jisoo was once worshipped as a divine fox but was cast aside when humanity stopped believing in spirits.

Haneul was a guardian beast, betrayed by those he once protected.

Mimi was a celestial messenger who failed her duty, leading to her exile.

These revelations deepen Narae’s understanding of their struggles, making her more determined to help them achieve their dream. However, she also begins to question whether full transformation into humans is truly the right path for them.


Chapter 8: The Emergence of the Main Antagonist

Just as the team gains confidence, a new threat emerges—a rogue exorcist who believes that forsaken creatures should be eradicated rather than helped. This antagonist, a mysterious figure with ties to Kim Oran, begins hunting them down.

He exposes their weaknesses, forcing them to retreat in their first encounter.

Narae is targeted specifically, as she is seen as their “human link.”

The team is thrown into disarray, realizing that their path to humanity is fraught with danger beyond just spirits.

With their existence now under threat, they must not only complete their mission but also fight for their right to exist.


Chapter 9: The Final Exorcism and Transformation

The climax of the story comes when the group faces their final challenge—a spirit so powerful that its defeat will mark their completion of the contract. However, the rogue exorcist interferes, making the battle even more difficult.

Narae, despite being powerless, takes a stand against the antagonist, proving that strength comes from will, not just abilities.

The forsaken beings, working in perfect harmony, combine their skills to defeat the spirit in a spectacular showdown.

The transformation ritual begins, but an unexpected twist forces them to make a choice—become fully human or embrace their true nature.


Chapter 10: The Choice and Conclusion

In a surprising turn of events, the forsaken beings realize that their dream of becoming human was based on societal rejection, not their true desires. Instead of blindly seeking transformation, they choose to redefine what it means to exist.

Jisoo retains her fox form but finds peace in her identity.

Haneul accepts his dual nature, neither beast nor man but something unique.

Mimi realizes she never needed wings to be free.

Narae, having grown through the journey, bids them farewell as they forge their own path. Though they may not have become human in the traditional sense, they have found their own version of humanity.


Conclusion

“Oh! Dangun” is more than just a supernatural adventure—it’s a story about self-acceptance, the search for identity, and the bonds that transcend differences. Through humor, action, and deep character exploration, the manhwa challenges the idea of what it means to be human. By the end, the characters—and readers—realize that true humanity is not about appearance but about one’s choices, emotions, and ability to connect with others.

This unique take on the “Beauty and the Beast” theme, combined with compelling world-building and character growth, makes “Oh! Dangun” a must-read for fans of supernatural fantasy with a meaningful message.
