Program Note

Juno, a star game broadcaster with 0.8 million subscribers is entangled in a controversy when a former classmate claims Juno falsely made up his own past. Having lost all his money, fame and fans that he had accrued over time, he seeks to recover his reputation and to return to the air. However, he can’t overcome the trauma he faces in the game and he is trapped in the virtual world. In this fiendish game that makes people go back into their past traumas, the past he faces is even more painful. The nightmare within the game, which seems never ending, is a part of his own subconsciousness that he hasn’t addressed, or perhaps he doesn’t want to know about.

White Crow explores deep-rooted guilt and scarring to a person through the virtual reality within the game, reappearing in grotesque imagination and fear. The performance of actor Ahn Heeyeon, not as idol Hani here but playing Juno, the lead character who fights his own nightmare in order to escape the game world, is worthy of note. (MO Eun-young)
