[Seong Chan-eol’s Comic Books] She Lied Her Way Into the School Heartthrob’s Engagement in 〈The Glory of Yuriko the Liar〉

I am obsessed with subculture. I look into anything that handles fresh stories, themes, or characters—not only films but webtoons, games, manga, and animation. Having entered fandom through comics, I’ve grown into the kind of adult who reads manga as e-books and webtoons on a smartphone while still...

[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. I entered the world of fandom through comics: as an adult I read comics as e-books and webtoons on my smartphone, a self-described 'kidult.' But it's less fun alone. I write Seong Chan-eol's Comics to share things that are more enjoyable together, seen from the perspective of an omnivorous fan.
To be frank, this is one of my current favorite comics, but it’s one I avoided writing about for a while. It’s wildly fun and genuinely heart-fluttering, but the barrier to entry is high. If even I, a fan of the series, felt that hesitation, I wasn’t sure how many readers would go along with it.

[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.

I am obsessed with subculture. I explore not only movies but also webtoons, games, comics, and animations that deal with fresh stories, themes, and characters. Having opened the world of 'fandom' through comic books, I have become an 'adult child' who reads comics on e-books and webtoons on my...

[Seong Chan Eol's Comic Book] Cliché but Classic Love is Beautiful, 'The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity'

I am crazy about subculture. I check out not only movies but also webtoons, games, comics, and animations that deal with fresh stories, themes, and characters. I opened the world of 'otaku' through comic books and became an 'adult child' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on my smartphone. However, it’s less fun to enjoy alone. I draw [Seong Chan Eol's Comic Book] from the perspective of a passionate fan, capturing what would be more enjoyable to experience together.
There are quite a few people who only focus on one field. Some only read comics, while others only watch animations. As someone who has lived as a casual fan with a broad but shallow interest, I often forget this fact.

[Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] May This Regret Be the Driving Force of Your Life, 'Look Back'

I am crazy about subculture. Not only movies, but also webtoons, games, comics, and animations that deal with novel stories, materials, and characters are something I always check out. Having opened the world of 'otaku' through comic books, I have become an 'adult child' who reads comic books on e-books and webtoons on smartphones. However, it's less fun to watch alone. I draw [Seong Chan-eol's Comic Book] from the perspective of a casual otaku, capturing things that would be more fun to watch together.
Since this is the first article opening this series, I thought a lot about it. Still, it's a bit embarrassing to reveal my taste on the first day, and it shouldn't be unhelpful to the reader, so I decided to write about either 「Spy Family」 or 「Skip and Loafer」.

[Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker] Watching “Marty Supreme,” Recalling Yoon Nam-gyu’s Penholder Table Tennis Racket

I get hooked on objects shown in movies. I can’t help but wonder why the director, the cinematographer, the production designer—or even the actor—put that item in front of the camera. “Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that landed softly in my eyes.
〈Marty Supreme〉 is a table tennis movie. For Korean film fans, the Sharpdy brothers are well known for 〈Heaven Knows What〉(2014), 〈Good Time〉(2017), and 〈Uncut Gems〉(2019), but 〈Marty Supreme〉 is a feature film that older brother Josh Safdie directed on his own for the first time in nearly 10 years.
