With the college entrance exam days away, the four girls—In-hye (Park Hye-jin), Seo-hee (Lee Seung-yeon), Jeong-ae (Park Hyo-eun), and Su-min (Choi Soo-in)—are shaken by news that the animals at the school’s animal-keeping facility will be euthanized.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] See ‘Hope’ Again Through the Driver-Grade Cap Joo Seong-cheol Wears While Racing Across Seong-gi Bridge in ‘The Yellow Sea’ and ‘Goksung’

I get hooked on the objects in the movies. I end up deep in thought about why the director—whether it was the director, the cinematographer, the production designer, or even an actor—put that particular item in front of the camera. ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker’ is a record of the objects in films that delicately landed on my eyes.

Interview: Director Yu Eun-jeong Says the House in 〈Shadow Child〉 Was Designed by Kim Chung-up

※ 〈Shadow Child〉 director Yu Eun-jeong interview continues from Part 1. 〈Shadow Child〉 recalls your earlier film 〈The Night's Door Opens〉. Both films depict death as a dark realm, yet each also takes a fundamentally affirmative view of existence — I saw similar imagery running through both.
