With that work,
Hyun-Soo Son wanted to show the changing attitudes, and especially the
sexualization of manga in order to satisfy the expectations of readers
who are more and more demanding in this regard. Here, male CC
characters look like chipendales whereas Candy looks sensual and
seductive. The exhibition began by an opening movie that you can see by clicking on Candy's picture below.
In this humoristic cartoon, the characters evolve physically. The conventional look they had in the manga disappears through a cloudy fog to to make way to a modern Candy and Terry. Candy wears a skirt whereas Terry wears a pair of jeans, both are grining mischievously. Terry's pecs are able to have Ryan Gosling drooling with envy, while Candy wears assertively her bikiny. All of this remains charming and funny.
A nude Candy surrounded by all her suitors. The choice is
difficult...^^

Here is an interview of Hyun-Soo Son. You can see her working on the animation she had made for the exhibition. Unfortunately, there is no translation. This is why I would be very grateful to anybody who could help me understand what she says. Thank youuuuuu! I am very pleased that Hyun-Soo Son's great interest for Candy and Terry couple. In the short comic-strip, she shows Candy and Terry of the manga era who go to the surgeon to change their appearance. The result is satisfactory but they looks very surprised to be recognized in spite of their physical transformation. Candy and Terry are eternal! ^^ (This is also the same Terry that we see among the paintings of the exhibition) ![]()
Hyun-Soo Son highlights Candy's modernity that she shows sexy but also feminist to condemn the persisting macho environment.
![]() Hyun-Soo Son also imagined an illustrated story that tells Candy and Terry's meeting in our days. All my gratitude to Aniko from candyterry.com/forums who translated it !!!! |
