[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」

[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.

Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ② “Comedy King,” Stephen Chow’s Film Where You Never Get Tired of Just Staring at the Sea All Day at Sek O Beach

Among Hong Kong films, it seems there is none that so deeply absorbs the mood of a place as much as Comedy King. With the exception of the film sets and a nightclub or two, it was shot almost entirely at Sek O Beach, located at the far southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island.

[Sung Chan-eol's Comics] 「Kindergarten WARS」 Turns Body Count Into Bizarre Rom-Com Fun

[Sung Chan-eol's Comics] 「Kindergarten WARS」 Turns Body Count Into Bizarre Rom-Com Fun

I'm obsessed with subculture. If a story or character feels fresh—whether in film, webtoons, games, comics, or animation—I check it out. Comics opened the world of fandom to me, and now I'm a kid-at-heart adult who reads paper volumes as e-books and webtoons on my phone. But it's less fun alone. I write [Sung Chan-eol's Comics] to share what’s more enjoyable experienced together, from the perspective of an enthusiastic generalist.
If someone asked me to sum up this comic, I'd probably hesitate and finally say, "It's fun. " It is fun. But it's not easy to explain. When I try to list impressions I come up with words that don't normally go together—funny, sweet, scary, brutal—so it's hard to convey.

Interview: Park Ji-hyun Takes on Comedy in 〈Wild Thing〉 (Part 2)

※〈Wild Thing〉 actor Park Ji-hyun interview continues from Part 1. Domi gives up performing and becomes a chaebol daughter-in-law, living an upper-class life. Even so, why does she return to the stage. I think Domi is an honest, very down-to-earth person. Her main goals are probably money and fame.
