[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] I hesitated to recommend it, but 30,000 moviegoers leaves me saying ‘Give it a try’: 「The Dangers in My Heart」

I go crazy for subculture. I check out anything with fresh stories, settings or characters — not only films but webtoons, games, comics and animation.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The Black Speaker of 'Sirat' and the Monolith of '2001: A Space Odyssey'

I get fascinated by objects in movies. I deeply ponder why the director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actors placed that object in front of the camera. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
Where is salvation, and can we really find it? Among the recent releases, the most overwhelming 'object' is undoubtedly the black rectangular speaker of 〈Sirat〉. The poster, which expresses the theme of the film by making that huge speaker even larger and placing it side by side to let light in...
