[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] 2025 Presence of the Year Award, 'Typhoon Company' Lee Sang-jin from 'Fine: Country Bumpkins'

[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] 2025 Presence of the Year Award, 'Typhoon Company' Lee Sang-jin from 'Fine: Country Bumpkins'

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 Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are continuously breaking their own records. Invest in 'rising stocks' at their low points.
Truly an actor who embodies the phrase 'crazy presence.' If there is a 'Presence of the Year Award' in 2025, I would like to give it to this actor. Recently concluded drama 〈Seoul's Manager Kim Working at a Large Company〉 featured a special appearance, while in the movie 〈Good News〉 he had a minor...

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The Aesthetics of Jongmyo That Captivated Masters of Martial Arts from Ho Kim-jun to John Woo, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The Aesthetics of Jongmyo That Captivated Masters of Martial Arts from Ho Kim-jun to John Woo, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung

I get fascinated by objects in movies. I fall into deep contemplation about why that object was placed in front of the camera, whether it be the director, cinematographer, art director, or an actor. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
I must ask for your understanding again. I changed the last series to 'Joo Seong-cheol's Character Locker' and wrote a tribute to actor Lee Soon-jae, and this time I want to change it to 'Joo Seong-cheol's Building Locker' to talk about 'Jongmyo'.

[Sungchan Eul's Comic Book] Would You Like to Eat Delicious Carnivorous Plant Dishes? 'Delicious in Dungeon'

[Sungchan Eul's Comic Book] Would You Like to Eat Delicious Carnivorous Plant Dishes? 'Delicious in Dungeon'

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 child' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on my smartphone. However, it's less fun to watch alone. I draw [Sungchan Eul's Comic Book] from the perspective of a passionate fan, capturing what would be more enjoyable to experience together.
We live to eat; it sounds like a joke, but humans have an inseparable relationship with eating. In reality, if people do not eat, they die. To avoid death, one must eat. This simple proposition is transferred to the fantasy world in 〈Delicious in Dungeon〉, which is the comic I am introducing today.

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Aesthetics of Repetition and Variation in 'Asako' and the OST 'netemo sametemo'

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Aesthetics of Repetition and Variation in 'Asako' and the OST 'netemo sametemo'

I am captivated by the music in films. Music conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot always be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window into the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding film music was a 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.)
Boys gather in groups and light firecrackers. The firecrackers soar into the sky with a bang, startling Asako , who ducks for cover. At this moment, music begins to play, blending with the montage of the city, infusing the film with vitality.

“O poor and naked souls who are suffering from this harsh storm somewhere. How are you enduring this fierce storm, clutching your hungry belly without a room to lay your head, dressed in rags under a hole-ridden window. I have been too indifferent to you all this time.

What Should I Watch to Make a Splash?~ Selected New Series to Anticipate in December

What Should I Watch to Make a Splash?~ Selected New Series to Anticipate in December

Originally, December is the time when theaters are bustling with blockbuster fights to match the year-end atmosphere. However, perhaps due to somewhat lackluster results this year, the December box office seems to already show signs of a one-sided battle as it approaches.

[Seong Chan Eol's Comic Book] Cliché but Classic Love is Beautiful, 'The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity'

[Seong Chan Eol's Comic Book] Cliché but Classic Love is Beautiful, 'The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity'

I am crazy about 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 child' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on my smartphone. However, it’s less fun to enjoy alone. I draw [Seong Chan Eol's Comic Book] from the perspective of a passionate fan, capturing what would be more enjoyable to experience together.
There are quite a few people who only focus on one field. Some only read comics, while others only watch animations. As someone who has lived as a casual fan with a broad but shallow interest, I often forget this fact.

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Reason for Tears in the Theater... The Emotions Left by the OSTs of 'Wicked' and 'Wicked: For Good'

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Reason for Tears in the Theater... The Emotions Left by the OSTs of 'Wicked' and 'Wicked: For Good'

I get 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 to glimpse the hidden intentions of the creators. For me, understanding film music was a 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.)
In the winter of 2024, the film 〈Wicked〉 opened the door, and a year later, the 〈Wicked: For Good〉 returned to theaters. The 〈Wicked〉 series, which has been imprinted in the world as the wicked witch Elphaba with green skin since 1939 due to Victor Fleming's film 〈The Wizard of Oz〉, instantly sheds...

[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box] The Actor Whose Sincere Heart is Most Felt, '3670' Jo Yoo-hyun

I am curious about people. Even if they are already in the spotlight, today might be their least famous day. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box' introduces actors who are reaching new heights every day. Invest in 'rising stocks' at their 'lowest point'.
“Like a carousel spinning round and round, as if it will go on forever, like our time that will come back around, life is a carousel”When talking about Jo Yoo-hyun, I want to introduce him by name rather than with grandiose adjectives.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] When Trees Comfort Trees, the Cello of 'The Moment the Bell Rings' and 'Can't Help It'

I become fascinated by objects in movies. I find myself deeply contemplating why the director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actors chose to place that object in front of the camera. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in films that have softly caught my eye.
Trees comfort trees. The documentary 〈The Moment the Bell Rings〉 tells the story of the millennium forest of Mount Gariwang in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, which was destroyed to host the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
