[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] You Already Knew Lee Hyo-je! 'If Wishes Could Kill' Lee Hyo-je

I am curious about people. Even if someone is already a noticed actor, today may be the least famous they'll ever be. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are reaching new highs by the day. Treat these 'soaring stocks' as 'buy-the-dip' opportunities.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] The Great Dancer Turned Film Director Summoned by “Michael”: Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz”

I can’t help but get hooked on the objects in movies. Director, cinematographer, production designer, or even an actor—why, exactly, did they put that item in front of the camera? ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers’ is a record of the movie objects that lightly landed under my gaze and, somehow, stuck there.
