[Interview] A Love Letter to Life, Humanity and Korea: ‘Journey There’ Star Justin H. Min, Part 2

[Interview] A Love Letter to Life, Humanity and Korea: ‘Journey There’ Star Justin H. Min, Part 2

※The interview with Justin H. Min about 〈Journey There〉 continues from Part 1. As we discussed earlier, music plays an important role in this film, and you play a conductor. The concert scene at the end was especially striking. How did you prepare for it.

A Standout Villain Spinoff That Could Save an Already Troubled Universe: Early Thoughts on 'Clayface' (Plus, Is There a Post-Credits Scene?)

A Standout Villain Spinoff That Could Save an Already Troubled Universe: Early Thoughts on 'Clayface' (Plus, Is There a Post-Credits Scene?)

It's all relative, but DC Studios certainly has more freedom than Marvel Studios. Compared with its neighbor, which established a single universe and has been charging ahead ever since, DC Studios has been through an awful lot—much of it arguably self-inflicted.

[Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box] 38-Year 'Rookie' Actor Nam Kwon-a of 'Tazza: The Song of Belzebub' and 'Gyeongju Trip'

[Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box] 38-Year 'Rookie' Actor Nam Kwon-a of 'Tazza: The Song of Belzebub' and 'Gyeongju Trip'

I am curious about people. Even actors already drawing attention may be having the least famous day of their careers right now. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box' introduces actors whose profiles are reaching new highs by the day. Buy into these rising stars while they are still undervalued.
If I had to name just one Korean commercial film released this year whose performance fell short of expectations, it would unquestionably be 〈Gyeongju Trip〉. The film's provocative story and its sheer determination to swing between comedy and tragedy with almost ungainly roughness certainly shone,...

Re-released 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' traces Mamoru Hosoda's fateful meeting with Yasutaka Tsutsui, the filmmaker Studio Ghibli passed over

Re-released 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' traces Mamoru Hosoda's fateful meeting with Yasutaka Tsutsui, the filmmaker Studio Ghibli passed over

〈The Girl Who Leapt Through Time〉 returned to theaters in 4K on Sept. 16 to mark the film's 20th anniversary.
If you went back in time to meet someone who confessed their feelings to you today one week earlier, would they still feel the same way. Couldn't that person from a week ago have no interest in you at all. Human feelings can change from moment to moment.

[Lee Hwa-jung's Deep Talks] “Going head-to-head with Hyun Bin and Byun Yo-han. How do I survive?” Meeting Roh Jae-won, star of 〈Tazza: The Song of Belzebub〉 and 〈Made in Korea Season 2〉, Part 2

A conversation that approaches actors with deep breaths, like a detox. Film journalist Lee Hwa-jung meets the actors.
From the audience's perspective, it seems the new momentum actor Roh Jae-won is showing has already begun. Looking at the cast lineup for 〈Made in Korea〉, I found myself wondering whether an actor known for his freewheeling style could adapt to acting within a demanding format — in other words,...

[Lee Hwa-jung’s Deep Talks] “Breaking Down the Line Between Good and Evil With Performances We’ve Never Seen Before” — A Conversation With Noh Jae-won, Actor in ‘Tazza: The Song of Belzebub’ and ‘Made in Korea Season 2’ ①

A talk that approaches actors with the deep breathing of a detox. Film journalist Lee Hwa-jung meets the actors shaping the screen.
I had to meet Noh Jae-won. Trying to understand the landscape of today’s screen, OTT and television productions without meeting this actor would have felt like cheating. Just looking back over the past three years, his striking performances in the series 〈D. P.
