[Chu A-young’s Music Box] The Music of ‘Chiikawa the Movie’ Sings of Tragedy From Opposite Sides

[Chu A-young’s Music Box] The Music of ‘Chiikawa the Movie’ Sings of Tragedy From Opposite Sides

I find myself drawn to music in movies. Sometimes music reveals a character’s private feelings that images and dialogue alone cannot fully convey. It can also offer a window into a creator’s hidden intentions. For me, understanding a film’s music has been one way to reach the film itself.

[Lee Hwa-jung’s Deep Talks] “Breaking Down the Line Between Good and Evil With Performances We’ve Never Seen Before” — A Conversation With Noh Jae-won, Actor in ‘Tazza: The Song of Belzebub’ and ‘Made in Korea Season 2’ ①

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] Unusual Beings Become High School Students in 「Ruri Dragon」 and 「Ogami Tsumiki and Her Unusual Daily Life」

I have a soft spot for pop-culture fandoms. I check out anything with fresh ideas or characters — not just movies but webtoons, games, manga and animation. Comics opened the door to fandom for me; these days I’m a grown-up kid who reads manga on an e-reader and webtoons on my phone.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] See ‘Hope’ Again Through the Driver-Grade Cap Joo Seong-cheol Wears While Racing Across Seong-gi Bridge in ‘The Yellow Sea’ and ‘Goksung’

I get hooked on the objects in the movies. I end up deep in thought about why the director—whether it was the director, the cinematographer, the production designer, or even an actor—put that particular item in front of the camera. ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker’ is a record of the objects in films that delicately landed on my eyes.
