Although it’s advertised as the”yaoi (boy’s desire to love) manhwa, “Killing Stalking’ is really of the psychological investigations of two very disturbed characters who are involved in an intimate relationship.
This manhwa isn’t for the weakhearted because it’s not only filled with sexually inappropriate scenes but also depicts the brutal acts of violence that take place between the couple.
However, the manner in which it investigates the internal workings of its characters is quite fascinating.
If you’re not feeling at a high level of emotional response and you’re not sure, then you should take a look. In the meantime, for those looking for answers to its unclear final chapter, here’s all you should be aware of.
Updated on May 29, 2024, by Govind: Killing/Stalking is the type of tale where the title tells you exactly what to anticipate. It has no sequences of brevity or comedy (unless we’re talking gallows), and several sections are quite terrifying. The cat-and-mouse dynamic between Seungbae and Sangwoo reminds me of Monster, and the dysfunctional family ties are similar to those examined in Trail of Blood.

Killing Stalking Ending: What Happened at the end?
[Major Spoilers Warning]
Even though there was a couple of reservations in the previous chapter, there was a valid relevant conclusion.
In the whole plot, the manhwa is a series of dull events in which Bum seeks to escape Sangwoo’s home in hopes of living a life of a higher standard.
But, Sangwoo consistently front runs him and, in a way or another, leads him back to his love for manipulative reasons.
Then the police officer Seungbae learns about Sangwoo’s identity and is able to figure out how to catch Sangwoo. But, as the psychopath he is, Sangwoo becomes an innocent victim to hide his guilt.
At that point, the man is released from the police, but his actions remain in the attention of the public.
Then, Seungbae has no option but to kill Sangwoo himself. So, he sets his home on fire due to the fact that Sanwoo is a victim of extreme overeating and is sent to an in-house hospital.
Is Sangwoo Alive?
While visiting Sangwoo at the hospital Bum is struggling to keep a distance from his sexy sweetheart. He keeps trying to figure out ways to get to the hospital to be aware that he’s committed the same mistake again.
However, in the next few minutes, Bum appreciates every one of the positive experiences of his time during his time with Sangwoo and defends the abuse he endured.
Bum’s fight is a reminder that no matter how Sangwoo handles him, he’ll remain dependent on Sangwoo.
In the most dramatic scenes in the Manhwa, manhwa Bum is able to mentally fortitude in order to see Sangwoo at last.
He seeks Sangwoo everywhere in the hospital until an employee informs Bum that Sangwoo died a few days before and burned his body.
The staff member then hands over Sangwoo’s cinders-filled container to Bum. The truth is, Bum can’t accept that Sangwoo has passed away.
However, when the reality comes to light, he’s regretting that he didn’t visit him earlier to say goodbye to his beloved.
When he is leaving the hospital Bum encounters a more mature woman who is claiming that she killed Sangwoo because Bum continued to scream Bum’s name all night.
The report suggests that the cause of death for Sangwoo was not the result of his injuries caused by the fire. The preposterous old woman strangled the man.
Is Bum Dead?
The manhwa concludes with the crosswalk signal changing to red, suggesting Bum was indeed dead. Bum was dead just moments after he began to pursue Sangwoo.
The fact that Bum has died or is not is unanswered. However, the conclusion suggests that Bum’s weaknesses and problematic past are what have led to his demise.
As a result, Bum will go further into his downward spiral until he seeks out help and gains an awareness of his current situation.

Is there any renewal of the series?
No, there’s been no confirmed renewal of the show. The manhwa concluded in 2019, and it’s not clear whether there will be a sequel or prequel.
Because both the main characters walked away in the end, it’s difficult for the creators to come up with something fresh. So, we’re assuming there’s no future for the show.
