[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

I can’t stop fixating on the objects in the movies. I get pulled into deep thought over why—director, cinematographer, production designer, maybe even an actor—someone put that object in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects from films that landed in my eyes, as if they gently stepped over them.
〈Toy Story 2〉 (1999)’s opening begins as if it were a scene from the 〈Star Wars〉 series. And in the moment of crisis, Woody recites the lines “Think about it, think about it,” like the way Dong-su (Kim Sang-kyung) does in 〈Theater Jeon〉 (2005) or Yeon-hong (Son Ye-jin) does in 〈No Secrets〉 (2016).

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] Right Now Is Yoon Byung-hee’s Prime

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] Right Now Is Yoon Byung-hee’s Prime

I’m interested in people. Even actors already drawing attention may be less famous today than they will be tomorrow. 'Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box' introduces performers reaching new highs by the day. Think of it as spotting a breakout before everyone else does.
Writing about an actor who seems to be everywhere on TV can feel almost too obvious, but Yoon Byung-hee is in the midst of another prime that is impossible to ignore. Yoon Byung-hee has recently appeared in 〈My Royal Nemesis〉, 〈Sold Out on You〉 and 〈21segi Daegunbuin〉 — three dramas that aired...

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

I can’t help but fixate on the objects in the movies. I find myself getting deeply lost in thought about why—of all things—this director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actor, placed that item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects in films that landed on my eyes with a light, delicate stomp.
〈Gun-chae〉surpassed 3 million viewers in just 10 days. According to the Korean Film Commission’s integrated computer network, it reached the 3 million mark on May 30, its 10th day after release, four days earlier than 〈King and the Man〉, which drew 16 million viewers.

[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...
