Props to Korean idols Yoona and Minho for getting the full coordinating fashion memo while attending the Givenchy 2018 spring fashion show in Paris recently. The SM Entertainment label mates were a pretty pair despite the mostly unpretty outfits from the fashion house, complete with animal prints, sharp shoulder pads, velvet pants, and awkward height cowboy boots with side cutouts. … Continue reading →
A huge coup and a great treat for viewers was confirmed today. Park Shin Hye and So Ji Sub are going to do Na PD’s next variety show for cable network tvN! She’s guest starred on his varieties before and the last one I watched was Three Meals a Day where she showed off plenty of surviving on own cooking … Continue reading →
This is great news on many fronts the most being the chance to see Song Joong Ki back on screen in a drama project. K-ent is reporting that Song Joong Ki has been offered the male lead in a period K-drama tentatively titled Asadal. The drama is a high profile project from the screenwriter of Queen Seondeok and Tree with … Continue reading →
I’m surprised by this news solely due to timing as I thought it was already done with. K-actor Lee Min Ho will be doing his mandatory four-weeks of basic training starting this month despite enlisting last year in May of 2017 after finishing up his drama Legend of the Blue Sea and doing some farewell fan meetings. He’s been serving … Continue reading →
March is here like a wet tiger so it’s nice to see an update from K-actress Yoon Eun Hye that’s bright and charming. She posted a series of picture updates on her SNS account taking selfies with two of her friends. Yoon Eun Hye clearly is very close to these two girlfriends and she mentioned in the captions that they … Continue reading →
I have my loves and without reservation K-actor and singer Lee Seung Gi is one of them. I legit love watching him in any role and at the same time can express disappointment if his performance or the greater project itself is flawed and lackluster. Such as the takeaway from his most recent K-drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) yet I … Continue reading →
It’s hilarious what a few days late posting something can totally change the context. Lee Dong Wook is in the March 2018 edition of Elle Taiwan released a few days ago, and I had the pictures pending a post write up when suddenly all K-ent hell broke loose (in a good way) with news that he was dating immensely popular … Continue reading →
 A double congrats to C-actress Liu Shi Shi on turning 30 years old this March 10th, 2018 and landing a gorgeous striking pictorial and cover for L’Officiel Hommes magazine. Her freshness belies the nearly fifteen years she’s been in the acting industry, and I’ve been following her career just as long. Before 30 years old she’s already played iconic period … Continue reading →
It takes a combination of luck and ability to land a supporting drama role that steals the lead thunder, and to do so in an especially bad K-drama. Lee Se Young already had her first leading lady role in The Best Hit last year before she signed on as a supporting role for Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) but she really … Continue reading →
I tend to forget how well Japan adapts its own mangas due to playing up the visuals to match the source material. The first stills and teaser are out for the J-dorama adaptation Hana Nochi Hare otherwise known as Boys Before Flowers Season 2. Starring Sugisaki Hana, Hirano Sho, and Nakagawa Taishi, the drama picks up a years after the … Continue reading →
This seems like a cool next project for Lee Jong Seok and one without too much time commitment. Lee Jong Seok has signed on for a 2-episode SBS drama called Hymn of Death (or Praise of Death) based on the dramatic real life of Korea’s first soprano singer Yun Sim Deok. She was born in the late Joseon era and … Continue reading →
It’s a quick end for one K-actor accused of sexual harassment as Jo Min Ki committed suicide on Friday March 9th. The actor was found hanging in the basement storage room of an apartment complex by his wife and was already deceased. Jo Min Ki’s prolific and decades long acting career was already over and he was also facing police … Continue reading →
It was a collision of popular and famous East Asian actresses at this week’s Paris fashion shows and not everyone made it out sartorially unscathed. But then the models parading down the runways in the latest couture are usually way weirder this is as good an occasion to go for fashion broke if ones wants to try something different. It … Continue reading →
