Kakao Entertainment's popular web novel and webtoon series “Tomb Raider King” will be adapted into an animated series in Korea and Japan in July.
“Tomb Raider King,” first released as a web novel in 2016 and adapted into a webtoon in 2019, will air on Japan's Fuji TV and Kansai TV, as well as the Korean TV channel Aniplus.
Korean rock band QWER will sing a soundtrack titled “Show Down” for the show.

The series revolves around Seo Ju-heon, a 23-year-old man who uses the knowledge of his past life to become the master of a new world, where tombs of mythical stories come to life.
