My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me has been on hiatus for more than a year now, but the creator recently shared new information about the series’ return.
Just like Iseop’s Romance Hiatus and Purple Hyacinths Hiatus, the creator had to take time off due to external and personal circumstances.
In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know about the hiatus – and what we can expect regarding My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me’s return.

My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: Official Hiatus Notice from the Author

The artist doesn’t have an official English Instagram account, so all announcements appear either on their Naver Creator profile or in the News section of Naver Webtoon.
The official hiatus announcement was published on October 24, 2024, meaning Korean readers have already been waiting for over a year.

Here’s the translated message:

Hello, dear readers.
I’m sorry to bring unfortunate news.
My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me will be going on a long-term hiatus after Episode 128.
About one-third of Part 2 still remains,
but as the series went on, my body found it harder to keep up,
and I could feel that my lack of energy was starting to show in the manuscript.
Although it’s disappointing to take a break earlier than planned,
I’ve decided to pause for a while in order to create better-quality chapters.
I’ll make an announcement as soon as the return schedule is decided.
I apologize for keeping you waiting, and I sincerely thank you for all your love and support.
Please stay healthy, and I hope the rest of October brings you many happy things.

After the initial hiatus announcement, updates from the creator were very rare.

The only small update appeared in April 2025, when the character Therdeo Lapireon was added to the Character Chat feature in the Naver Webtoon app.

Character Chat is an interactive feature on the Korean version of NAVER Webtoon that allows readers to exchange simulated messages with webtoon characters.

Alongside that update, the artist also shared a short message addressing readers who were waiting for the series to return:

And to all the readers waiting for the series’ return –
I’m truly sorry I can’t come back just yet, and I sincerely thank you for your patience.
Once preparations are complete, I’ll make a separate announcement about the return date.
Thank you as always for your understanding,
and I hope you have a wonderful day. 🌸
Thank you.

My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: Return Date Updates in March 2026

On March 6, creator Seungu shared a new update on their creator profile:

Hello, dear readers. This is the author, Seungu.

It has been a long time since my last update. I realize this message is very late.
I thought it would be better to make an announcement once a definite schedule for the continuation had been set. However, knowing that many of you have been waiting, I wanted to at least send this update.

Since the hiatus, my health has recovered to some extent.
However, returning to work on the manuscript was not as easy as I expected. I felt strongly that I could not release anything unless the result was something I could personally accept. The time it has taken has not been easy for me either.

During that process, I also felt pressure knowing that my own uncertainty affected my assistants and the people around me. I sought counseling and worked on regaining a steady work rhythm, and fortunately I have now reached a point where I am able to continue working again.

The series is planned to resume in the second half of this year.
I will share the exact schedule once it has been finalized.

Thank you for waiting for such a long time.
The messages saying that you are still waiting for the story have given me a lot of strength.

Although this message comes late, I hope you stay healthy and well this year too.
I will return with a good manuscript.

Thank you. I always value and appreciate you all.

Until this official announcement, the only info we had for almost two years was this:

Once preparations are complete, I’ll make a separate announcement about the return date.

However, even if the release date is announced, international readers will likely need to wait a bit.

• Episode 128 was published on Naver Webtoon on November 23, 2024,
  and on WEBTOON Global on January 12, 2025 – a delay of about six weeks.
• If this pattern continues, international readers may experience a similar delay once the series returns.
• Still, some major series – such as Childhood Friend Complex – have released global and Korean updates simultaneously after long hiatuses, so that’s also possible here.

My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me: Hiatus Timeline Overview

• Episode 1 was released for international readers on February 13, 2022, while Naver Webtoon launched it earlier on November 27, 2021.
• The creator consistently released weekly episodes until Season 1 ended with Episode 75 on July 2, 2023 (May 6, 2023 on Naver).
• In the afterword, the artist mentioned a planned six-month break – and indeed, Season 2 returned roughly half a year later.
• After that, weekly releases continued steadily until Episode 128, when the series entered a long-term hiatus.

In a previous afterword, the creator also mentioned that producing this webtoon has always been challenging, but possible thanks to their support team. They initially planned to complete the story in three seasons of 50 episodes each, but later realized that such pacing wasn’t realistic.

Currently, we are roughly two-thirds into Part 2, which could indicate the possibility of another season after this one – though that’s just speculation at this point.
