[Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] May This Regret Be the Driving Force of Your Life, 'Look Back'

I am crazy about subculture. Not only movies, but also webtoons, games, comics, and animations that deal with novel stories, materials, and characters are something I always check out. Having opened the world of 'otaku' through comic books, I have become an 'adult child' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on smartphones. However, it's less fun to watch alone. I draw [Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] from the perspective of a casual otaku, capturing things that would be more fun to watch together.
Since this is the first article opening this series, I thought a lot about it. Still, it's a bit embarrassing to reveal my taste on the first day, and it shouldn't be unhelpful to the reader, so I decided to write about either 「Spy Family」 or 「Skip and Loafer」.

Predator: Badlands - Can the Challenge to Shape the Future Succeed? (+Post-Credits Scene)

The ultimate hunter has sneaked into theaters. No, this time the situation is different. Instead of being the best hunter, it has become the best prey. The movie 〈Predator: Badlands〉 is the latest installment in the 〈Predator〉 series that has been ongoing since 1987.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] What Beer Did Sergio (Benicio Del Toro) Always Carry in 'One Battle After Another'?

I get fascinated by objects in movies. I ponder deeply why that object was placed in front of the camera, whether by the director, cinematographer, art director, or actor. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
〈One Battle After Another〉 made me curious about the beer that Sergio always carried. It was that can of beer that he casually handed to Bob Ferguson , who was stuck on the phone, unable to recall the code word.

[Chua-young's Music Box] 'Boléro' and 'Exit 8' - Goodbye Digimon, I'm now heading to 'Exit 8'.

I get hooked on the music in movies. Music conveys the intimate emotions of characters that sometimes cannot be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window to glimpse the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding film music was one way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the film more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
The bewilderment I felt when I first watched the movie 〈Exit 8〉 comes to mind. As a Digimon fan, I went to the theater that day, as I usually do, listening to Maurice Ravel's timeless masterpiece 'Boléro' (Boléro), which was used in 〈Digimon Adventure〉 (1999-2000).

[Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box] Best Practices for Using Actor Images, 'Ms. Incognito' Joo Hyun-young

I am curious about people. Even if they are already recognized actors, today might be the least famous day of their lives. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box' introduces actors who are continuously breaking their own records. Invest in 'rising stocks' at their low points.
It has been a while since a stylishly funny and crazy drama has come out. If I had to describe the drama 〈Ms. Incognito〉 in one word, it would be 'young makjang'. "Countdown to life reset: 3 months! A poor girl, a bodyguard, dreams of a big break and enters into a contract marriage with a...

[Interview] Kang Ha-neul Reveals the Secret to His Flavorful Comedy Acting in 'The First Ride'

“When acting, I try not to see it from my first-person perspective as Kang Ha-neul, but rather from the audience's perspective watching this scene.”
Those teenagers who said there was no 'next' become thirty-somethings who hand out 'next' like it's a blank check. A congressional aide who is hesitant to take a vacation, a basketball player hopeful who has lost his dreams and is just relying on the hospital, a rebellious child from a Buddhist...

[Interview] Director Yoon Ga-eun of 'The World of Love' Says, "I Want to Make Films That Are Not Definitive and Try New Things Now"

"I thought that perhaps I could depict one case, one face, so I focused solely on revealing that one character"
Yoon Ga-eun's new film 〈The World of Love〉 returns after six years. It feels familiar like an old friend, yet often confronts us with strange moments. Yoon Ga-eun draws us in with a familiar story that captures the small universe of children with a delicate gaze, just like her previous works 〈Our...
