Soon-Young (Shownal) Han: The Casting Director Redefining Global Collaboration

Few understand this better than Soon-Young Han, also known professionally as Shownal Han, a global casting director whose work is quietly reshaping how Hollywood, Korean content, and international brands collaborate.

The Fake Fishermen
When Akbar Khan saw one of his goats slipping down the hillside, he hurriedly jumped across the rocks and ran down the slope. The goat managed to save itself from falling, but Akbar Khan could not keep his balance. His foot became tangled in a bush, and he slipped down the slope toward a muddy swamp. While falling, his hand caught hold of a bent tree branch, which saved him from sinking into the mud. Holding the branch tightly, he slowly made his way back up the slope. After reaching the top, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

“What If It Happens?”
Monday, 11 April 2022 Ishrat Jahan One of our friends, Mr. Farooq, is a middle-aged man, yet he has still not been able to free himself from his deeply suspicious and fearful nature. These days, I happened to have some free time, so I thought it would be a good idea to meet him and try to untangle the puzzle of his constant worries. By coincidence, he himself arrived at my humble home, jolting along in a rickshaw.

Facing your Terror-Wolf
A way that can make us really brave and face a difficult situation or an emotion that most of us would avoid or would not know how to manage because it is unbearable, is Prokofie. The piece "Peter and the Wolf" is something more than a musical piece for children, it is a deep story of characters and symbolism. It was originally created for children to recognize musical instruments separately, but in its creation it has much more than that because each instrument is in the specific character. Behind it all is the psychology that follows in the formation of our character.

Whiskers of a Small Sun
You entered my life without a trumpet, no parade of promises, only the soft punctuation of paws on the floor, a sentence ending and beginning at the same time.

Are Graffiti Artists Criminals?
Is graffiti art or a crime? This question may appear to be ridiculously simple on the surface. The reasoning is straightforward: graffiti is a crime if it is created without the person's permission, and therefore it is illegal, and the perpetrators are criminals. But this either/or thinking, where people are either criminals or artists, is actually quite simplistic. Graffiti is more than just a crime, and it has multiple meanings.

Willing Enough
Not Yet I don’t want to get up out of bed— not because I’m broken, not because the world is cruel, but because this is the only place

Jim Sloan
By Brian D’Ambrosio At 90, Jim Sloan has lived several lifetimes’ worth of work—carpenter, sign painter, excavator, sawmiller, road-builder and the go-to rattlesnake remover of Galisteo, New Mexico. Art may be the through-line, but it has never been the source of his income, nor the center of his universe. Sloan has always kept one foot in the studio and the other in the soil, without bothering to decide which world he truly belongs to. The truth is that he fits cleanly into neither, and he has long since stopped trying.

The Crossroads of Becoming
I found it by accident. Tucked between a laundromat and a shuttered bookstore, half-hidden by ivy and time, stood a rusted phone booth. Not the sleek glass kind from movies, but an old metal one—peeling paint, cracked receiver, a dial so stiff it groaned when turned. No one had used it in years. Probably decades.
