Oh this sounds cute and a great pairing as well! Since there aren’t as many K-dramas being produced anymore I feel like each project needs to have the best casting ever just to keep me interested beyond just the story which frankly these days in any genre is shades of been there done that.

I missed this pictorial last month but better late than never with my cute bae Park Bo Gum. He’s on the cover and pages of Elle Korea October 2024 edition and modeling all Celine as he’s a brand ambassador.

It’s been a mixed bag for me with it comes to top K-actress Song Hye Kyo and her long running brand association with Italian couture house Fendi.
