Selfish Romance is one of my favorite romance Manhwa. Season 1 of Selfish Romance ended on June 26, 2025, with Episode 51 on WEBTOON and on May 13, 2025, on the Naver platform.. The final panel gave fans a clear promise: “Selfish Romance will return!” – but no release date.
Since then, readers have been guessing when Season 2 will arrive. Here’s everything officially confirmed – plus what’s really going on behind the scenes.
What we know about Selfish Romance Season 2: the quick answer
- Return confirmed: Yes.
- Release date: Not announced.
- Current creator focus: KDK crossover webtoon, August–September 2025 (Korean platform only).
Selfish Romance Season 2 is confirmed, but still no release date
After the finale, creator Gyogyo Park posted multiple updates on Instagram, repeating the same key points:
- Season 2 is in the works.
- It’s taking longer than expected.
- The creator will share news once there’s a concrete date.
In the finale episode of season 1 Gyogo Park posted some personal thoughts about the Hiatus:
Partial Translation: “Selfish Romance is currently a little over 50% complete. I think it’s an awkward time to take a break, but I apologize to my readers for my recent frequent lateness and poor health, and I’m not entirely satisfied with the results ㅜㅜ I’ll prepare well during my hiatus, so please be patient! I’ll occasionally upload doodles and update you! Thank you.”
This was Gyogyo Parks first delay announcement on July 26th:
Translation: “How have you all been? I’m doing well! Preparations for Season 2 of Selfish Romance have taken longer than expected, so it might take a little longer to return. I’ll do my best, so please wait a little longer..! Well, I’ll be back with more news!”
She’s Also Revising Older Episodes
In a recent post, Gyogyo Park shared that she’s been revising earlier chapters of Selfish Romance during the hiatus.
- So far, she has updated up to Episode 3.
- She plans to continue making changes until the series returns.
- She hinted it might be fun for fans to re-read the series later and spot what’s different.
This means she’s splitting her time between rest, revisions, and other projects – which could further delay new episodes for Season 2.
The KDK Special Project – Why Season 2 Might Be Delayed
In August 2025, Gyogyo Park revealed she’s been working on a special webtoon for the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDK).
This isn’t just a side gig – it’s a Selfish Romance crossover. The “KDK comics brand webtoon” blends public health messages into the Selfish Romance world, using familiar characters and tone.
Key facts about the KDK project:
- Episode 1 was released on August 11, 2025.
- New episodes drop every Wednesday for four weeks.
- It’s part of the “Wednesday Webtoons” schedule
What “Wednesday Webtoons” Actually Means
“Wednesday Webtoons” is not a separate app – it’s a schedule category on WEBTOON for series that update every Wednesday.
However, the KDK project is only available on the Korean version of Naver Webtoon, not on the English/global WEBTOON app.
Why?
- The project is commissioned by a Korean government agency and is targeted at the domestic audience.
- International fans won’t find it in the global WEBTOON app unless it’s later translated and published.
- Right now, the only way to read it is through the Korean Naver Webtoon platform (which may require a VPN or Korean account).
Selfish Romance: Korean vs. Global Release Dates for Season 2
The Selfish Romance Season 1 finale (Episode 51) was released on May 13, 2025 on Naver Webtoon in Korea — about six weeks earlier than the global English version, which came out on June 26, 2025 on WEBTOON.
This gap is standard: Naver Webtoon is the original platform, and episodes there typically appear weeks or months before their translated release on WEBTOON English. That means even when an official release date for Season 2 is announced, English readers will likely have to wait around six more weeks after the Korean debut to read it. That also explains why she posted her first delay announcement only four weeks after the finale of season 1.
Any dates mentioned in fan spaces are speculation. Some had hoped for a September comeback, but nothing official supports that.
