[Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] May This Regret Be the Driving Force of Your Life, 'Look Back'

[Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] May This Regret Be the Driving Force of Your Life, 'Look Back'

I am crazy about subculture. Not only movies, but also webtoons, games, comics, and animations that deal with novel stories, materials, and characters are something I always check out. Having opened the world of 'otaku' through comic books, I have become an 'adult child' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on smartphones. However, it's less fun to watch alone. I draw [Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] from the perspective of a casual otaku, capturing things that would be more fun to watch together.
Since this is the first article opening this series, I thought a lot about it. Still, it's a bit embarrassing to reveal my taste on the first day, and it shouldn't be unhelpful to the reader, so I decided to write about either 「Spy Family」 or 「Skip and Loafer」.

In 'Tiger, Come In,' the Kids at Home Are More Tiger Than Rabbit

I love subculture. I follow not just films but webtoons, games, comics and animation—anything with fresh stories, themes or characters. Comic books opened the door to fandom for me, and now I’m the kind of grown-up kid who reads comics on an e-reader and webtoons on a smartphone.

[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’

[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.
Park Chan-wook’s 〈The Handmaiden〉 and Na Hong-jin’s 〈Goksung〉 were released in 2016, on June 1 and May 12, respectively, in the same year. Coincidentally, both films were invited to the Cannes Film Festival that year—Park Chan-wook’s to the competition section and Na Hong-jin’s to the...

‘Hope’ Finally Meets Moviegoers. Here’s How Cineplay’s Critics Rated It

Advance bookings alone topped 600,000. That opening-day figure shows that 〈Hope〉 has become a national talking point, not just a movie-industry event. 〈Hope〉 is the new film from director Na Hong-jin, known for the tense, audacious intensity of 〈The Chaser〉, 〈The Yellow Sea〉 and 〈The Wailing〉.
