Are These Actors All Here?! Meeting Japanese Actors and Their Works in 'Good News'

Are These Actors All Here?! Meeting Japanese Actors and Their Works in 'Good News'

Was it a global project? While watching the Netflix original 〈Good News〉 directed by Byun Sung-hyun, which was released on October 17, I thought about that. It is based on the real-life Japanese civil aviation hijacking incident, which is why not only Korean actors but also a large number of...

‘Shadow Child’ Review: A Fantastical World Rooted in the Real Pain of Absence, Plus What Its Key Players Had to Say

Blending realist grounding with a genre mood is difficult. Capturing the border between those two seemingly different realms and turning it into a film is no easy task. Even in South Korea’s film industry, where tightly executed genre movies and grounded, reality-driven stories dominate, films that...

Review: 'Supergirl' Offers Space Adventure, a Coming-of-Age Arc and a Superman Companion Piece, but Lacks a Big Punch

Opening June 24, 〈Supergirl〉 is the second theatrical outing in James Gunn's DC Universe and a loose follow-up to 2025's 〈Superman〉. With the DCU's No. 2 batter stepping up to the plate, the film poses the question of whether it can properly continue the DCU's momentum.

[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 ③ ‘Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories’ — The Kowloon Walled City Park Set That Revives Memories of Hong Kong Cinema

Erased in 1993, the Kowloon Walled City — left behind as “Kowloon Walled City Park” — was a bleak illegal residential zone where no sliver of sunlight ever reached.
When director Jingle Bao-rui’s 〈Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories〉 (hereinafter 〈Kowloon Walled City〉, 2024) hit theaters in Hong Kong in 2024, it set a record for the biggest box-office success in Hong Kong history.

‘Hope’ Main Poster Revealed! Watch It in Dolby Cinema, Dolby Atmos, SCREENX, and 4DX Too

The competition-section invitee of the 79th Cannes Film Festival and director Na Hong-jin’s new film 〈Hope〉 has unveiled its main poster.
The newly released main poster captures a tense moment featuring three figures armed with guns, standing against a dark forest so densely packed with trees that it’s hard to gauge its depth. The heightened alertness shown by “Beom-seok,” the head of the Hopeport Outpost on 출장 duty, and “Seong-gi,”...
