[Chua-young's Music Box] The Meta Representation of Subculture 'Cosmic Princess Kaguya!' with 'World Is Mine' and 'Reply'

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Meta Representation of Subculture 'Cosmic Princess Kaguya!' with 'World Is Mine' and 'Reply'

I get hooked on the music in movies. Music sometimes conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window to glimpse the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding movie music was one way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the movie more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
Japanese animator Shingo Yamashita, who gained recognition for directing various movie openings such as 〈Naruto: Shippuden〉, 〈Jujutsu Kaisen〉 Season 1, and 〈Chainsaw Man〉, has created his ambitious debut work. The Netflix feature animation 〈Cosmic Princess Kaguya.

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] Not a Lone Crane, but One Cat Among Rats: 〈Cat Nancy〉

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] Not a Lone Crane, but One Cat Among Rats: 〈Cat Nancy〉

I’m a devoted fan of subculture. I gravitate to anything with fresh stories, ideas, or characters — not just films but webtoons, games, comics, and animation. Having opened the door to fandom through comic books, I now read e-comics on e-readers and webtoons on my smartphone — a self-described...

The Intern Carrying an Executive’s Briefcase: The Paradox of the “Intern” Leather Attaché

The Intern Carrying an Executive’s Briefcase: The Paradox of the “Intern” Leather Attaché

I fixate on objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor put that particular object in front of the camera. “Joo Sung-chul’s Locker” records the movie objects that have lightly crossed my path.
“Back in action. ” In Nancy Meyers’ 〈The Intern〉 (2015), Ben says to himself as he prepares for his first day back at work. The expression describes resuming activity after an extended break because of rest or an injury. Strictly speaking, however, he is not talking to himself.

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] What Are the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in 'Warfare' and 'The Hurt Locker'?

[Joo Sung-chul's Locker] What Are the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in 'Warfare' and 'The Hurt Locker'?

I am drawn to objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor put that particular object in front of the camera. 'Joo Sung-chul's Locker' records the objects in movies that quietly catch my eye.
“The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug.” The Hurt Locker (2009), which won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Picture, opens with that title card. Director Kathryn Bigelow drew the quotation from War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, a 2002 nonfiction book by...

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.

[Jusungcheol’s Locker] Odyssey’s one-eyed giant Cyclops and Ray Harryhausen’s “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad”

[Jusungcheol’s Locker] Odyssey’s one-eyed giant Cyclops and Ray Harryhausen’s “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad”

I can’t help getting captivated by the objects in movies. I find myself in deep thought about why, of all things, the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even the actors would put that item in front of the camera. “Jusungcheol’s Locker” is a record of the film objects that have landed gently on my eyes.
One of the most striking scenes in 〈Odyssey〉 is the one-eyed giant Cyclops that Odysseus and his group encounter in a cave they enter after chasing a ram. With his enormous body blocking the cave like a huge boulder, he devours the humans inside two at a time each day, then sleeps.

I’m drawn to subculture in all its forms. I don’t just follow films; I check out webtoons, games, manga and animation — anything that offers a fresh story, theme or character.
