Even though the animation industry has been growth since 2011, there is still imitation by public stereotype which insists that animation is only able to cover the young age group and is not the proper genre of art to convey a social or a philosophical agenda. However, describes the philosophical agenda of 'social class' and 'life and death' in the limited space by expressing characteristics and background of fish through its own way. Thus, it shows how animation goes beyond aforementioned limits. Straying from traditional happy-ending, it criticizes present social problems by telling despite fishes' effort they cannot escape from structural contradictions. The drawing technique in musical expresses the character's ideology and attitude to make people think about how we will behave in the face of life and death. Therefore the purpose of this paper is analyzing director Lee Dae-hee's animation and present the genre expandability of animation.

As the digital broadcasting era settled in, the TV, which was only used to watch broadcast programs, developed as a medium for operating various data services. This means that an environment, in which the viewers' TV usage behavior can be changed from a passive attitude to an attitude of actively consuming the media, has been established. Since the advertising market is an industry that is heavily influenced by changes in the media, these changes causes changes in the form of advertising and the advertising consumption behavior of viewers. In this environment, the broadcasting industry needs to think about the new growth strategy that links the possibility of data service with the advertisement market. In this study, we designed a data service that provides supplementary information of an ID advertisement, which has the weakness of short exposure time and shortage of information expression space. Specifically, we have designed the usage scenario and user interface of the data service and developed a method, based on the international digital broadcasting standard DV B, that provides the supplementary information defined by the type of ID advertisement to the data service.
