[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

I can’t help but fixate on the objects in the movies. I find myself getting deeply lost in thought about why—of all things—this director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actor, placed that item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects in films that landed on my eyes with a light, delicate stomp.
〈Gun-chae〉surpassed 3 million viewers in just 10 days. According to the Korean Film Commission’s integrated computer network, it reached the 3 million mark on May 30, its 10th day after release, four days earlier than 〈King and the Man〉, which drew 16 million viewers.

[Lee Hwa-jeong’s Deep Detox] “Keep Running Without Rest With an Athlete’s Grit.” Meeting Actress Yeon Lee, Star of “Tango at Dawn” and “Gyeongju Trip” ③

A talk that approaches the actress with deep, measured breaths, like detoxing. Film journalist Lee Hwa-jeong speaks with the actors she has met.
▶ The meeting with actress Yeon Lee continues in Part 2. ​Unlike how she appears—bright-minded and bold in taking on challenges—what I heard is that the reason she started acting in the first place was a process meant to heal her fear.
