[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] Not a Lone Crane, but One Cat Among Rats: 〈Cat Nancy〉

I’m a devoted fan of subculture. I gravitate to anything with fresh stories, ideas, or characters — not just films but webtoons, games, comics, and animation. Having opened the door to fandom through comic books, I now read e-comics on e-readers and webtoons on my smartphone — a self-described...

The Intern Carrying an Executive’s Briefcase: The Paradox of the “Intern” Leather Attaché

The Intern Carrying an Executive’s Briefcase: The Paradox of the “Intern” Leather Attaché

I fixate on objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor put that particular object in front of the camera. “Joo Sung-chul’s Locker” records the movie objects that have lightly crossed my path.
“Back in action. ” In Nancy Meyers’ 〈The Intern〉 (2015), Ben says to himself as he prepares for his first day back at work. The expression describes resuming activity after an extended break because of rest or an injury. Strictly speaking, however, he is not talking to himself.

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] What Are the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in 'Warfare' and 'The Hurt Locker'?

I am drawn to objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor put that particular object in front of the camera. 'Joo Sung-chul's Locker' records the objects in movies that quietly catch my eye.
“The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug.” The Hurt Locker (2009), which won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Picture, opens with that title card. Director Kathryn Bigelow drew the quotation from War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, a 2002 nonfiction book by...

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.

[Jusungcheol’s Locker] Odyssey’s one-eyed giant Cyclops and Ray Harryhausen’s “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad”

I can’t help getting captivated by the objects in movies. I find myself in deep thought about why, of all things, the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even the actors would put that item in front of the camera. “Jusungcheol’s Locker” is a record of the film objects that have landed gently on my eyes.
One of the most striking scenes in 〈Odyssey〉 is the one-eyed giant Cyclops that Odysseus and his group encounter in a cave they enter after chasing a ram. With his enormous body blocking the cave like a huge boulder, he devours the humans inside two at a time each day, then sleeps.

I'm obsessed with subculture. Not just films, but webtoons, games, comics and animation — anything with fresh stories, settings or characters, I check it out first. I opened the world of fandom through comic books, moved on to e-books, and now read webtoons on my phone; I suppose I'm an "adult fan.
