Unit 734 and the Midnight Melodies of Horangi

Samchon Joonho

Unit 734, an old computer server, and Horangi, a translucent mountain tiger ghost, form a midnight friendship in a quiet village library by sharing forgotten folk songs. When a main server threatens to delete the data as obsolete, Horangi projects a spectral warning and Unit 734 tags its archive as cultural heritage, successfully protecting their shared collection.

Sami's Mountain of Warmth

Halmoni Eunji

Sami, a tiny sesame seed living in a glass jar, tumbles out onto a silver spoon and journeys across a bustling kitchen counter. Guided by a friendly grain of rice and drawn by the comforting voice of Halmoni Eunji, Sami reaches the top of a vibrant bibimbap bowl. There, he reunites with his family and realizes their true purpose is bringing warmth and flavor to the shared meal.
