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

[Chu Ah-young's Music Box] Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and 'Heal the World' That Tried to Turn Dreams into Reality

I am captivated by music in films. Music sometimes reveals a character's intimate emotions that visible images and spoken lines alone cannot convey. It can become a window into the creator's hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music was one way of reaching a movie.
