An Adult Romance Webtoon Exclusive to Ridi

Dirty Approach is officially listed on Ridi's romance (로맨스) webtoon category page with the banner "론칭! 3일 한정 전원 포인트백 — RIDI ONLY <더티 어프로치>" and credit ⓒ재담, confirming its status as an exclusive title readable only on the Ridi platform. The main webtoon page displays the tag "리디에만 있는 독점 작품!" (an exclusive work found only on Ridi!).

In terms of accessibility, during the launching event period (August 20 – September 3, 2026), the first 4 episodes are free. Subsequent episodes require paid purchase. The Ridi page also displays a 5.0 star rating from early readers — a very positive reception signal for a title that just launched. Adult verification (성인 인증) is required before reading, in compliance with South Korea's Youth Protection Act.

An Intense Premise: A Chaebol Heiress Entangled with the Field's "Black Panther"

From the synopsis and reader reviews of the original novel on Ridi, the story introduces Cha Su-jeong (차수정) — a career woman from a conglomerate family who is "연애는 못해도 일은 잘하는" (bad at romance but great at work). She rejects the marriage arranged by her family and decides to find her own path.

But her plans fall apart when she becomes inextricably (지독하게) entangled with Joo Sung-chan (주성찬), a professional golfer nicknamed "필드 위의 흑표범" (the Black Panther on the Field). Reader reviews describe Sung-chan as a man who is "정신이 건강하고 어른스럽다" (mentally healthy and mature), "능글능글 매력 유니콘" (charmingly charismatic) — far from the possessive or aggressive male lead stereotype.

The main hook: in a chaebol world full of calculation, their relationship develops organically — "불필요하게 폭력적이거나 강압적인 장면도 없고" (no unnecessarily violent or coercive scenes).

Tone: Fresh, Adult, Without "Goguma"

Unlike many adult romances that rely on heavy conflict, Dirty Approach offers a tone that is "시원하고 깔끔한 느낌" (refreshing and clean). Novel readers praise: "고구마 없고 빌런도 없다" (no frustrating moments, no villains) — an adult romance comfortable to read without excessive emotional burden.

The golf element serves as a strong visual identity: the launching event uses the emoji, and Joo Sung-chan's profession as a pro golfer provides a sports-world backdrop rarely explored in the chaebol romance genre.

Why This Matters

1) An adult romance without toxicity

Instead of a possessive male lead or a relationship full of violence, Dirty Approach offers a male protagonist who is "정신이 건강해요, 어른스럽고" (mentally healthy, mature) — a refreshing take in the 19+ romance genre that often relies on unhealthy power dynamics.

2) A unique golf-world setting

Joo Sung-chan's profession as a pro golfer nicknamed the "Black Panther" provides a fresh, specific setting — not the usual chaebol office, but the green, tournaments, and the public pressure of an athlete's life.

3) Adapted from a novel with a strong track record

The original novel by Kaljangmi holds a ★4.9 rating from thousands of readers on Ridi, with 87 chapters already proven entertaining. Readers call it "영화로 찍어도 히트 칠듯" (would be a hit if made into a film).

4) A highly rewarding launching event
