Chomin has endured brutal bullying since middle school, living each day in fear and humiliation. When his estranged older brother suddenly dies in a motorcycle accident, Chomin discovers a shocking truth: his brother was the leader of Imperial Gang, one of the most powerful gangs in the area. Armed with his brother’s phone, Chomin impersonates him and orders the gang members to attack his school bullies, tasting power for the first time in his life. But his fragile lie begins to crumble when his brother’s girlfriend appears, threatening to expose him unless he helps eliminate a rival gang. Trapped in a web of violence and deception, Chomin must decide how far he’s willing to go to survive.
Sweet Home thrives on discomfort. Rather than offering a clean revenge fantasy, it forces readers to watch a powerless victim slowly become complicit in violence he can no longer control.
Chomin’s actions are understandable—but never fully justified. His fear-driven decisions push him deeper into danger, blurring the line between victim and perpetrator. The story excels at showing how power obtained through lies inevitably demands a price.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who enjoy dark psychological stories, morally gray protagonists, and revenge narratives that spiral out of control. Sweet Home isn’t about winning—it’s about how quickly survival can turn into self-destruction.
