I’m curious about people. Even if they’re already getting attention as actors, sometimes this is still the day they end up being the most underknown. ‘Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewelry Box’ introduces actors whose momentum is building day by day. Jump into the breakout trend while it’s still early.

I get hooked on the objects in movies. I find myself falling into deep thought—why, of all things, did the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even an actor put that item in front of the camera? “Chu Sung-cheol’s Lockers” is a record of the film props that gently but firmly captured my attention.

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.

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.)

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.
