Inspired by a murder case in Washington, Benton in 2018, 〈Choong-Choong-Choong〉 portrays a catastrophe sparked by the intersecting desires of three kids.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

I can’t stop fixating on the objects in the movies. I get pulled into deep thought over why—director, cinematographer, production designer, maybe even an actor—someone put that object in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects from films that landed in my eyes, as if they gently stepped over them.
〈Toy Story 2〉 (1999)’s opening begins as if it were a scene from the 〈Star Wars〉 series. And in the moment of crisis, Woody recites the lines “Think about it, think about it,” like the way Dong-su (Kim Sang-kyung) does in 〈Theater Jeon〉 (2005) or Yeon-hong (Son Ye-jin) does in 〈No Secrets〉 (2016).

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

I can’t help but fixate on the objects in the movies. I find myself getting deeply lost in thought about why—of all things—this director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actor, placed that item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects in films that landed on my eyes with a light, delicate stomp.
〈Gun-chae〉surpassed 3 million viewers in just 10 days. According to the Korean Film Commission’s integrated computer network, it reached the 3 million mark on May 30, its 10th day after release, four days earlier than 〈King and the Man〉, which drew 16 million viewers.

[Seong Chan-eol's Comics] The extreme realism of 'Soohee0 (tngmlek0),' the webtoon that had readers saying, 'This author is clearly obsessed with streaming'

[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.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] The Great Dancer Turned Film Director Summoned by “Michael”: Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz”

I can’t help but get hooked on the objects in movies. Director, cinematographer, production designer, or even an actor—why, exactly, did they put that item in front of the camera? ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers’ is a record of the movie objects that lightly landed under my gaze and, somehow, stuck there.
