[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.

[Sung Chan-eol's Comics] 「Kindergarten WARS」 Turns Body Count Into Bizarre Rom-Com Fun

I'm obsessed with subculture. If a story or character feels fresh—whether in film, webtoons, games, comics, or animation—I check it out. Comics opened the world of fandom to me, and now I'm a kid-at-heart adult who reads paper volumes as e-books and webtoons on my phone. But it's less fun alone. I write [Sung Chan-eol's Comics] to share what’s more enjoyable experienced together, from the perspective of an enthusiastic generalist.
If someone asked me to sum up this comic, I'd probably hesitate and finally say, "It's fun. " It is fun. But it's not easy to explain. When I try to list impressions I come up with words that don't normally go together—funny, sweet, scary, brutal—so it's hard to convey.

[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.
We live in an era where influencers rise and fall every day. The dramatic advancement of social media and live-streaming platforms has brought us to a point where audiences can choose the stars they want, rather than being handed manufactured celebrities.
