[Seongchan Eol's Comic Book] Read This When You're Feeling Down, A Middle Schooler's Innocent First Love 「The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses」

[Seongchan Eol's Comic Book] Read This When You're Feeling Down, A Middle Schooler's Innocent First Love 「The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses」

I go crazy for subculture. I check out not only movies but also webtoons, games, comics, and animations that deal with fresh stories, themes, and characters. I opened the world of 'otaku' through comic books and became an 'adult kid' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on my smartphone. But it's less fun to enjoy alone. I draw [Seongchan Eol's Comic Book] from the perspective of a passionate fan, capturing what would be more enjoyable to watch together.
Everyone remembers March as a time of excitement or anxiety. During school days, when a new semester began, you had to walk into the unknown, wondering which friends you would be in the same class with and if you could become close to them.

[Chua-young's Music Box] May Madness Reign on This Land! '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' and 'The Number of the Beast'

[Chua-young's Music Box] May Madness Reign on This Land! '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' and 'The Number of the Beast'

I am captivated by the music in movies. Music sometimes conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues alone. It can also serve as a window into 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.)
〈28 Days Later〉(2002) is the authentic sequel to 〈28 Years Later〉(2025), the second installment of 〈28 Years Later: The Bone Temple〉(hereafter 〈The Bone Temple〉). The film is a tribute to British band music. It reveals affection for British band music by incorporating the music of Radiohead, Duran...

[Lee E-dam's Jewelry Box] Unpretentious Simplicity, 'Can This Love Be Translated?' 'The Art of Sarah' 'Pavane' Lee E-dam

[Lee E-dam's Jewelry Box] Unpretentious Simplicity, 'Can This Love Be Translated?' 'The Art of Sarah' 'Pavane' Lee E-dam

I am curious about people. Even if they are already recognized actors, today might be the day they are least famous. 'Lee E-dam's Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are continuously reaching new heights. Invest in 'rising stars' at their low points.
The actor that Netflix hurriedly included in the jewelry box. And 〈Can This Love Be Translated. 〉 〈The Art of Sarah〉 〈Pavane〉 have been released one after another, and everyone has included their own actors in their jewelry boxes. That actor is none other than Lee E-dam.

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] If it's hard to visit Cheongnyeongpo of Deposed King Danjong, head to Geumseongdang of Prince Geumseong!

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] If it's hard to visit Cheongnyeongpo of Deposed King Danjong, head to Geumseongdang of Prince Geumseong!

Located in Jingwan-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, Geumseongdang is a shrine dedicated to the deified Prince Geumseong and also serves as a shamanism museum.
This week's Joo Sung-chul's Locker article has been changed to a building locker. I couldn't just pass by the 25th Korean film to reach 10 million viewers, 〈The Man Who Lives with the King〉. Last weekend, 〈The Man Who Lives with the King〉 surpassed 11. 17 million cumulative viewers. The pace is fast.

There are some stories I want to protect. Just as Kyung-rok (Moon Sang-min) tried to protect the small and humble love between Mi-jung (Go Ah-sung) and Johan (Byun Yo-han) until the end, I still hold onto something that is no longer there.

[Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box] The Rising Actor Who Chose a Difficult Path, Kim Jae-won as 'Lady Dua' Kang Ji-hwan

[Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box] The Rising Actor Who Chose a Difficult Path, Kim Jae-won as 'Lady Dua' Kang Ji-hwan

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.
The history of 'low point investment' in KBS2 〈Music Bank〉 is profound. Looking at the lineup of male MCs, or 'bank presidents', in the history of 〈Music Bank〉, it is glamorous. 〈Music Bank〉 is known for quickly seating male actors in the so-called 'star' trajectory before they rise to fame.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The Black Speaker of 'Sirat' and the Monolith of '2001: A Space Odyssey'

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The Black Speaker of 'Sirat' and the Monolith of '2001: A Space Odyssey'

I get fascinated by objects in movies. I deeply ponder why the director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actors placed that object in front of the camera. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
Where is salvation, and can we really find it? Among the recent releases, the most overwhelming 'object' is undoubtedly the black rectangular speaker of 〈Sirat〉. The poster, which expresses the theme of the film by making that huge speaker even larger and placing it side by side to let light in...
