"Misaeng," a South Korean comic book series about the life of a young contract worker, has sold more than 1 million copies, its publisher in Seoul said Monday. 

The nine-volume series by manhwa (Korean cartoon) artist Yoon Tae-ho exceeded the 1 million mark on Oct. 26, according to the publisher, Wisdom Books.   

The series tells the story of a man who works as an intern in his 20s at a large trading company after failing to accomplish his dream of becoming a professional baduk (go game) player.

A drama of the same title has aired on Fridays and Saturdays on cable channel tvN since Oct. 17.
