[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.

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] 'Off to Work Again!' Star Kang Ki-dong, the Sturdy Pillar of Korean Dramas

Anyone who watches Korean dramas has likely noticed Kang Ki-dong at least once — the reliably grounded actor whose supporting turns keep stealing scenes. In the tvN drama 〈Off to Work Again!〉, which concluded on the 28th, Kang played Jeon Gi-tae, a seven-year office veteran and a member of Saeum...
