A columnist curious about people — even actors already on the radar may be living their least famous day right now. "Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box" introduces performers who keep reaching new highs; think of it as a tip to "buy low" on these rising stocks.

[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.

Interview: Gong Hyo-jin on the bittersweet power of 〈Gyeongju Trip〉 (Part 2)

※The interview with actor Gong Hyo-jin for 〈Gyeongju Trip〉 continues from Part 1. Your chemistry with Park So-dam, who plays the second sister Young-ju, and Lee Yeon, who plays the youngest sister Dong-ju, felt strikingly natural on screen. What was it like working together on set.

[Interview] Gong Hyo-jin on the laugh-and-cry power of 'Gyeongju Trip' (1)

[Interview] Gong Hyo-jin on the laugh-and-cry power of 'Gyeongju Trip' (1)

Gong Hyo-jin’s acting carries an unusually persuasive power. Even a premise in which a character sets out to punish a heinous criminal herself, and a genre blend that shuttles relentlessly between comedy and tears, feel entirely believable because of her.
