[Lee Hwa-jung’s Deep Detox] “I want to be a giant seedless grape, not a strawberry.” Meeting actor Lee Yeon, Part ② of “The 21st-Century Crown Princess,” “Tango at Dawn,” and “Gyeongju Trip”

A talk that reaches the actor through deep, steady breathing, like a detox. The actors Lee Hwa-jung meets in her film journalism.
▶ The meeting with actor Lee Yeon continues from Part 1. ​〈Juvenile Judgment〉 is a different situation, but it’s a portrayal of the dark side of teenage youths. I can imagine that darkness running counter to Lee Yeon’s brightness must have felt overwhelming.

[Seong Chan-eol's Comics] The extreme realism of 'Soohee0 (tngmlek0),' the webtoon that had readers saying, 'This author is clearly obsessed with streaming'

[Seong Chan-eol's Comics] The extreme realism of 'Soohee0 (tngmlek0),' the webtoon that had readers saying, 'This author is clearly obsessed with streaming'

I'm obsessed with subculture. I check out anything with fresh stories, settings, or characters — movies, webtoons, games, comics, animation. Having discovered fandom through comics, I became what I call an "e-adult" — an adult who reads printed comics via e-books and webtoons on my phone. But it's less fun alone. In this recurring column, Seong Chan-eol's Comics, I highlight works that are more enjoyable together from the perspective of a jack-of-all-fandoms — a fan with broad, eclectic tastes.
