## Image Gallery

**Student Peace Council** is a Korean **YLAB** webtoon and the 7th Blue String webtoon. The story was written by Gyeongmin Choi and illustrated by Yongseong. It is published by YLAB.

## Synopsis

"“I’ll lead the way!” Gucheon’ is marred by school violence, and Student Peace Council was born to guide the struggling members of Gucheon."

## Release Schedule

It was serialized every Wednesday on Naver Webtoon from November 24, 2020.

At the present time, it is the least popular Blue String webtoon. As of episode 13, it did its worst, ranking 48th in overall popularity. In the end, likely due to its lacking popularity, it was completed early with episode 22 on April 20, 2021. As a result, it is the only Blue String webtoon that has not been serialized overseas at all. This means there is no official English currently or any other languages.

It became a paid webtoon on April 12, 2022, one year after completion. Afterwards, it is being provided as a recommended product at the end of April.

* In Ep. 4, Mooyoung Shin attacks Dooho Kang by using the phrase "Get Schooled.” An easter egg.
* In Ep.21, Yeoncheol Ma mentions Incheon Chinatown, which appears in Study Group.

## Criticism & Evaluation

### Evaluation

From the start, its volume was large. From episode 1, many noted how extensive the plot was. Existing webtoons usually have about 60 cuts, with the webtoon having about 77 from episode 3, even if episode 1 and 2 were for character introduction.

There were mixed feelings about the art style. As it is very unique for the style often seen in webtoons, there was a split between those who liked it for its uniqueness and those who quit from episode 1.

There is no problem with the plausibility or setting, but there are many opinions that the material and story development itself are not particularly interesting. The low ranking and star rating are proof of this. The drawing style itself has its own personality, so there is a lot of like and dislike.

There were no problems with the webtoons plausibility or setting, however, many beleived that the material and story was not particularly interesting. The low ranking and star rating support this. Additionally, the drawing style was very unique and some liked it while others didn't.

### Criticism

* **Early Completion** - The main criticism is its completion with just 22 episodes with fans speculating the series was discontinued by YLAB, due to it being a box office failure. However, readers found the second half of the story interesting and noted its high potential. Korean readers criticise YLAB for ordering early completion over the author. There are voices alling for a reboot, similar to Super String's ***Island Part 2***.

* **Future Character Utilisation** - The fact that it was completed early affects future character use. Heerak & Hwiyeol were selected as one of Blue String's main characters. As a result, the 14 year time skip to them as adults doesn't coordinate well with the majority of the Blue String main characters being teens. Heerak is a chef and appears to be uninvolved in fighting. The time skip is heavily criticised as it does away with all tensions for their futures as their fates as adults has already been confirmed.

## Trivia

* The webtoon was released during the announcement of the Blue String Universe.
* The webtoon likely occurs in the 2010s, judging by the use of smartphones, and the final episode, which takes place 14 years later, appears to be in the 2020s.
* Due to its early completion, it is not well-known among Blue String webtoons, and because of that, some Korean readers treat it as an "Undesired Child". Some readers even treat it as a spin-off to solve some mysteries from Study Group's.
