[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.

[Interview] Y2K Sensibility, Meeting This Year’s Debut, Director Changrok Han in the Hot Seat, Actors Joo Min-hyeong and Baek Ji-hye (②)

The 〈strong〉Chungchungchung〈/strong〉 (also rendered as 〈strong〉Chung Chung Chung〈/strong〉)—made with the 2018 murder case in Washington, Benton as its inspiration—depicts a catastrophe sparked by the tangled, competing desires of three children.
How did the two of you interpret and approach your respective characters. The name “Courage” suggests an energy that’s overflowing, but the character is also a “pathetic” youth who doesn’t have real, powerful force.
