[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.

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

[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. 'Chu Ah-young's Music Box' listens to a film's voice up close by way of its music. (P.S. I hope you listen to the music while reading.)
Michael Jackson is an artist who left one of the most powerful marks in the history of pop music. Having taken the stage as a member of the Jackson 5 before he turned ten, he later set a Guinness World Record for the best-selling album of all time with his solo album 'Thriller' and earned the title...

After her younger sister Sora (Seung-hwa Kim), who has a criminal record for murder, is released from prison, the day-to-day life of star pet dog trainer Ha-young (Seung-yoon Choi) begins to shake.
A noteworthy “intruder” has appeared in Korean independent cinema. A director who brings uncomfortable things, things you want to hide, and things that get under your skin right to the front—stimulating the audience’s senses.

[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

I get hooked on the music in the film. Music sometimes conveys intimate feelings a character can’t fully express through the visuals alone—or through the lines you hear. It can also serve as a window into the creator’s hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music was one way to connect with the movie. “Chua-Young’s Music Box” lets you listen more closely to the movie’s voice through music. (P.S. While listening to the music, I hope you’ll read the article.)
Following the first film, 〈Girls Band Cry: The Movie—Youth Rhapsody〉 (hereinafter 〈Youth Rhapsody〉), the sequel 〈Girls Band Cry: The Movie, Hey Our Future〉 was released in theaters on April 16. This theatrical release is a compilation film: while it faithfully follows the existing story, it adds...
