Fog Land (포그랜드), the dark action-survival manhwa by POGO, will release Fog Land Chapter 38 for English fast-scan readers next Monday, May 18, 2026 (aligning with the official Tuesday releases on Naver Webtoon in Korea).
If you have been keeping up with Dante Kang’s terrifying fight for survival, you know the story centers on a civilian science teacher who was sent to do reform work at Fogland, a highly secretive and incredibly dangerous international prison. Following a massive, sudden riot, the prison is entirely cut off from the outside world, plunging into chaotic, violent anarchy. To survive the nine “hells” of the prison and escape the thick fog surrounding it, the physically weak teacher has realized his only option is to use his intellect to manipulate the inmates and become a gang leader himself.

Why Fog Land Chapter 38 Matters
The English fast-scan teams (such as Hijala Translations and KaynScans) have been consistently updating over the weekends and Mondays. The official English release on WEBTOON runs a few chapters behind the Korean raws. The recent chapters have heavily focused on Dante expanding his influence over the lower levels of the prison while facing off against increasingly unhinged, super-powered inmates.
What makes Fog Land Chapter 38 so critical? The fast-scan community has teased the upcoming chapter under the theme “A Racing Heart!”. Because Dante relies entirely on strategy, psychological manipulation, and makeshift science rather than physical strength, Chapter 38 is expected to feature a high-stakes, high-adrenaline confrontation where his life hangs by a thread.
Fog Land Chapter 38 Spoilers
Because the fast-scan community closely tracks the original Korean releases on Naver Webtoon, we have an outline of the upcoming events.
Escalating Competition
Spoilers indicate that Chapter 38 will deal directly with the escalating “competition” between the rival gang factions within the prison. As Dante climbs the hierarchy, the physical threats against him grow significantly worse. The chapter is expected to focus on Dante executing a highly dangerous, premeditated plan to outsmart an opponent who heavily outclasses him in raw combat power.
“Racing Heart”
The theme “A Racing Heart!” points toward a sequence where Dante’s fragile civilian background is highlighted. Fans anticipate a deeply suspenseful scene where his carefully laid trap almost fails, forcing him to adapt on the fly while surrounded by violent criminals who would gladly tear him apart if they realized he isn’t actually a “monster.”
