[Seong Chan-eol’s Comic Books] She Lied Her Way Into the School Heartthrob’s Engagement in 〈The Glory of Yuriko the Liar〉

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comic Books] She Lied Her Way Into the School Heartthrob’s Engagement in 〈The Glory of Yuriko the Liar〉

I am obsessed with subculture. I look into anything that handles fresh stories, themes, or characters—not only films but webtoons, games, manga, and animation. Having entered fandom through comics, I’ve grown into the kind of adult who reads manga as e-books and webtoons on a smartphone while still...

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] I hesitated to recommend it, but 30,000 moviegoers leaves me saying ‘Give it a try’: 「The Dangers in My Heart」

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] I hesitated to recommend it, but 30,000 moviegoers leaves me saying ‘Give it a try’: 「The Dangers in My Heart」

I go crazy for subculture. I check out anything with fresh stories, settings or characters — not only films but webtoons, games, comics and animation. I entered the world of fandom through comics: as an adult I read comics as e-books and webtoons on my smartphone, a self-described 'kidult.' But it's less fun alone. I write Seong Chan-eol's Comics to share things that are more enjoyable together, seen from the perspective of an omnivorous fan.
To be frank, this is one of my current favorite comics, but it’s one I avoided writing about for a while. It’s wildly fun and genuinely heart-fluttering, but the barrier to entry is high. If even I, a fan of the series, felt that hesitation, I wasn’t sure how many readers would go along with it.

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] If it's hard to visit Cheongnyeongpo of Deposed King Danjong, head to Geumseongdang of Prince Geumseong!

Located in Jingwan-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, Geumseongdang is a shrine dedicated to the deified Prince Geumseong and also serves as a shamanism museum.
This week's Joo Sung-chul's Locker article has been changed to a building locker. I couldn't just pass by the 25th Korean film to reach 10 million viewers, 〈The Man Who Lives with the King〉. Last weekend, 〈The Man Who Lives with the King〉 surpassed 11. 17 million cumulative viewers. The pace is fast.

“When acting, I try not to see it from my first-person perspective as Kang Ha-neul, but rather from the audience's perspective watching this scene.”
