Swipe to find out which shape Gi-hun did pick for the Dalgona candy Challenge! 😂 I haven’t painted a proper fan art piece for a while. I’ve always wanted to pay homage to Korean cinema and had a portrait of one of my favourite actor, Song Kang-ho, in mind for years but never got to do it; so after binging on Squid Game 🦑 last week I thought that was the time to finally do something about it! The type of Korean movies I enjoy are usually crime or horror movies which often explore themes of social inequality. I got into Korean movies after watching Bong Joon-ho’s Memories of Murder back in 2003, I was just blown away by the cinematography, the dark humour and the eccentric characters; Other favourites from Bong Joon-ho include The Host, Mother and Cannes’ Palme D’Or Winner 2019 Parasite; Some other directors I discovered include Park Chan-wook who’s behind Joint Security Area, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance/Old Boy/Lady Vengeance, Thirst and The Handmaiden, and Kim Jee-Woon who directed A Tale of Two Sisters, A Bittersweet Life, The Good The Bad The Weird and I saw The Devil. So if you enjoyed Squid Game, have a go at some of the movies I’ve just mentioned, you won’t be disappointed!
