[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] From raw terror to weighty warmth, Kim Young-sung of 〈Gyeongju Trip〉, 〈Salmokji〉 and 〈Big Sleep〉

A columnist curious about people — even actors already on the radar may be living their least famous day right now. "Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box" introduces performers who keep reaching new highs; think of it as a tip to "buy low" on these rising stocks.
Do you remember the character who complained the whole time and was the first to be found cold and dead in one of the standout horror films of the first half of the year, 〈Salmokji〉 (2025)? Song Kyung-tae, the representative of a veteran Road View filming company, played by Kim Young-sung, is...

[Interview] Gong Hyo-jin on the laugh-and-cry power of 'Gyeongju Trip' (1)

[Interview] Gong Hyo-jin on the laugh-and-cry power of 'Gyeongju Trip' (1)

Gong Hyo-jin’s acting carries an unusually persuasive power. Even a premise in which a character sets out to punish a heinous criminal herself, and a genre blend that shuttles relentlessly between comedy and tears, feel entirely believable because of her.

In 'Tiger, Come In,' the Kids at Home Are More Tiger Than Rabbit

In 'Tiger, Come In,' the Kids at Home Are More Tiger Than Rabbit

I love subculture. I follow not just films but webtoons, games, comics and animation—anything with fresh stories, themes or characters. Comic books opened the door to fandom for me, and now I’m the kind of grown-up kid who reads comics on an e-reader and webtoons on a smartphone.

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

[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.
