[Sung Chan-eol's Comics] 「Kindergarten WARS」 Turns Body Count Into Bizarre Rom-Com Fun

[Sung Chan-eol's Comics] 「Kindergarten WARS」 Turns Body Count Into Bizarre Rom-Com Fun

I'm obsessed with subculture. If a story or character feels fresh—whether in film, webtoons, games, comics, or animation—I check it out. Comics opened the world of fandom to me, and now I'm a kid-at-heart adult who reads paper volumes as e-books and webtoons on my phone. But it's less fun alone. I write [Sung Chan-eol's Comics] to share what’s more enjoyable experienced together, from the perspective of an enthusiastic generalist.
If someone asked me to sum up this comic, I'd probably hesitate and finally say, "It's fun. " It is fun. But it's not easy to explain. When I try to list impressions I come up with words that don't normally go together—funny, sweet, scary, brutal—so it's hard to convey.

The Intern Carrying an Executive’s Briefcase: The Paradox of the “Intern” Leather Attaché

I fixate on objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor put that particular object in front of the camera. “Joo Sung-chul’s Locker” records the movie objects that have lightly crossed my path.

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] What Are the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in 'Warfare' and 'The Hurt Locker'?

I am drawn to objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor put that particular object in front of the camera. 'Joo Sung-chul's Locker' records the objects in movies that quietly catch my eye.
