This article analyzes 'book traveler' stories as a new sub-genre of Korean fantasy web fiction. Formal innovation is revealed as the major motivation of Korean fantasy web fiction's narratives. Furthermore, the imagination of social resistance was presented as the formal devices of the genre. These theses were performed during the analysis of the two characteristics of the genre. In this genre, the main character is the writer or reader of fantasy stories. He moves into a novel he is describing or reading. The original novel, which was entered by the main character, is a space characterized by the custom of a typical fantasy genre. Therefore, the main character actually experiences cliché, typical genre devices and plots. The most important action for the main character here is to 'bend' the custom of the original. Therefore, this genre is in the form of the main motive being the refraction of typology. Meanwhile, the main character is not the central character of the original, but a secondary figure. The central character of the original book is usually from the ruling class, which monopolizes the good resources of society. At this time, the genre creates a subversive situation in which the social underdog goes beyond the social power through plots that overwhelm the central figure. It converts the reader's social desire into a genre device. To summarize, the latest trend in Korean web novel fantasy has captured scenes of renewed Korean genre literature practices. It sensitively reflects the social context of the contemporaries and the reader's desire. Thus, the Korean web novel fantasy has reflected both its internal conditions and its social context.

연구 주제는 우리 모두가 성자하면서 느끼고 경험했을, 그러나 고단한 일상 속에 파묻혀 잊고 지냈을, 유년시절의 이야기를 조그마한 시골지역을 비경으로 잔잔하게 그려내는 데 초점을 맞추었다. 도시에서 이사온 한 초등학생에게 시골마을은 제대로 포장된 도로도, 이층집도 없는 곳이었지만 주변에는 친구들과 뛰어 놀기에 부족함이 없는 경이로움으로 가득 찬 곳이었다. 이때의 느낌과 에피소드가 여러 장면 속에 봄부터 겨울까지 일년 사계절을 배경으로 담겨져 있다. 이런 의도 속에서 각 그림의 주제와 등장인물간의 조화를 맞추며, 각각의 그림은 개별적으로 독립적인 이야기를 담고 있으면서도 전체적으로 서로 연관된 고향이라는 주제의 하나의 이야기이다. 독특한 표현세계의 추구를 위한 기법연구로 한국화 기법을 만화와 접목을 통해 동양적인 정서와 회화적인 표현이 접목된 만화를 연구함으로써, 대중성과 예술성이 보완된 작품을 시도하고자 하였다. 과정 속에서 본인은 전형적인 우리나라 시골 어린이들의 생생한 감정과 동작의 움직임, 각가지 얼굴표정과 제스처를 만화적인 기법으로 표현하고자 하였으며, 한편으로는 그림의 배경이 되는 우리의 자연과 산하를 동양화 기법으로 특징을 잡아내고자 노력하였다. 이와 함께 독자의 이해를 높이기 위해 매 장면마다 그에맞는 이야기를 나레이션 형식으로 삽입하여 평면 작품으로 제작하였고, 또한 그 작품을 CD-ROM 속에 담음으로써 영상화된 화면에서 제작하고자 하였다. 이번 작품 제작을 통하여 본인의 의식 깊은 곳에 영향을 주고, 낳고 키워준 고향의 이야기들을 표현함으로 본인을 포함한 도시생활에 찌들어 있는 현대 대중들에게 위로와 휴식을 줄 수 있는 작품이 되고자 노력하였다.

Although the existing X-CASH card system observes the KS standard for a transportation card system, there has been an issue for interoperability between X-CASH and other public transportation system due to the partially undefined part in the standard. This issue is followed by the inconvenience of the existing X-CASH users. If the existing X-CASH card user wants to get any other public transportations which are not interoperated with X-CASH, the user would have to buy other cards. Consequently, some users have to bring more than one card with them. In addition, it is almost impossible that the existing X-CASH system operator makes the X-CASH card available for the infrastructure built by other cards operators because their technologies are too much different. The X-CASH operator must construct its own infrastructure on the same route and it would cause an unnecessary loss of expense and labor. To solve these problems, We modified the existing X-CASH system and developed the Nation-wide Interoerable X-CASH system which lets both the existing X-CASH card and Nation-wide Interoperable X-CASH card work. This developed X-CASH system consists of the purchase SAM, the purchase terminal and the settlement. And The conformity test for it was successfully authorized. Also we, KORAIL NETWORKS, have done the test-bed on this Nation-wide interoperable X-CASH system in Gwangju for six months with Telecommunications & Clearings, the HiPlusCard Corporation. This test confirmed that the Nation-wide Interoperable X-CASH system would practically work well.

The development of webtoon accelerated with development of smart devices. It became a daily life to enjoy digital contents such as webtoon using smartphones on the streets and subways, not just for the novelty of the new generation. With the advent of smart devices, the webtoon market has grown rapidly and webtoons of various themes and genres are pouring out. The growth of webtoon market is a good opportunity for artists, but competition is getting worse and it is difficult to satisfy readers with low quality. In order to create webtoon that can satisfy the readers, the artists are considered as important homework that can show the interesting story and show it effectively. In this study, I tried to prove that the method of directing using shot among the elements of animation can be utilized for directing webtoon effectively. In order to explain this, I have tried to explain the characteristics of webtoon and its relation with animation, and I chose the most important example of webtoon, 'Ko Soo(Ryu Ki woon, Moon jeong hu, 2015)', which has been popularized with successful storytelling and directing, and described character shot and time transition shot.

The accessibility and effect of cartoon on children are very significant. Since cartoon is a medium of conveying information through text and pictures, it has a characteristic of being easily approached by children than any other medium. Its accessibility to children is inevitably more exceptional than any other medium in the sense that it is a method of not only telling or reading stories but also showing stories. The main audience of is children. It has a characteristic of being easily accepted by children since it's mythology seen in cartoon than read in text. However, gods conducts are full of unethical expressions. Sexual expressions of intermarriages between mother and son, between brother and sister and between uncle and niece, as well as extramarital intercourse are very unethical that could have negative effects on children. This study analyzed the unethical expressions of gods that could have negative effects on children at current point in time. Zeus was often unfaithful to his wife with many stories about the children of Zeus that were created from extramarital intercourse. Standard of value on rational decision has been established for adult readers, but children can readily accept things since they lack their own rational decision on what's right and wrong. As an alternative to children's uncritical observatory study, there is a need for author's intervention to help children form desirable values. The purpose of this study is to analyze the sexual expressions of Zeus and gods in that could affect children's social study.
