In January 2022, Webtoon released three series in collaboration with the HYBE Corporation, a South Korean entertainment company. The three series are 7Fates: Chakho, The Star Seekers and Dark Moon: The Blood Altar and each series featured characters based off of the members of some of HYBE’s K-pop boy groups. 7Fates featured BTS, Star Seekers featured Tomorrow X Together and Dark Moon featured ENHYPEN. The series are currently on hiatus but are set to return in June.
These are the promotional posters that were made, with the ones on top being the groups themselves and the ones on the bottom being the characters they represent within the stories:
Here are the synopses of the series, as well as the names of the characters in bold and the members they represent (For easier recognition, I only included the members’ stage names):

I love it
During the series’ hiatus, they’ve been posting these mini-comics on the Dark Moon Instagram account and it’s so funny to see how they manage to reflect the members’ personalities in these characters
They also had Heeseung and Sunghoon say their characters’ lines from their webtoon on a v-live - it was hilarious

omggg honestly that’s super cool.
this whole thing kinda reminds me how HYBE made a wattpad account for BTS although idk if they were planning to post a Wattpad story
the acc ended up getting deleted bc armies started spamming n freaking

Honestly from the engene and moa comments I’ve seen on the enhypen and txt webtoons, that doesn’t surprise me 
They also have Wattpad stories using these characters but they’re paid stories
The only thing I don’t know is if they’re just the Webtoons in written format or if they’re completely separate

This is actually a tough question tbh
The only series that are connected story-wise are The Blood Altar and The Grey City - they take place in the same universe
Really, I think the thinking behind it is that you read the series connected to your favourite group - I’m a huge ENHYPEN fan so the one I actually read weekly is The Blood Altar

Whoops. Forgot to reply.
Do you still feel the same with this answer?

Yeah, pretty much
I feel like if you don’t have a specific group you’re into, it comes down to what you’re interested in reading
I can’t really speak to the BTS one because I haven’t read it but if you like stories about magic, then I’d recommend either TXT’s webtoon or LE SSERAFIM’s, if you like vampires, then you should read Enhypen’s and if you like werewolves, I’d recommend &Team’s!
Lil spoiler for The Blood Altar
I think my favourite thing about Solon (Sunghoon’s character) is that he keeps his earring in his wolf form
