This seems like a random award but since there is a television category might as well report on it. The 2020 Korean Brand Awards (handed out by advertisers) highlighted who was popular or buzzy on television this year and boy are the winners just a motley crew. I agree with the selection but think others could have just as easily … Continue reading →

This red carpet for the just held 2020 Taipei Film Awards feels like a wash, I mostly hated the outfits but enjoyed actually seeing some because it’s pretty unexpected.

What I loved the most when the photo array was shown for the 5 Best Actor nominees for the 2020 Baeksang Drama Best Actor award was how 4 of them were in serious actor mode and 1 was in “I’m so happy to be here” puppy mode. That 1 being Kang Ha Neul who then won for his performance in … Continue reading →
The first half of 2020 is officially over and the Baeksang Arts Awards feels like a nice capper to laud the best dramas, movies, and performances of the last year and then let’s all move on to greener pastures as a reboot.

I can’t tell if K-netizens are being serious when they got mad at K-actress Honey Lee this week for literally being a supportive friend and fan to the cast of Academy Award winning movie Parasite. She was in Los Angeles, with good friend Gong Hyo Jin as well, so when the movie took home the major wins at this past … Continue reading →
South Korean director Bong Joon Ho actually went home with 4 awards tonight at the 2020 Academy Awards but the biggest win went to the entire cast and crew.

The 2020 Weibo Awards, celebrating the 2019 year so perhaps the 2019 Weibo Awards would be more apt but it’s held this weekend in January 2020 so imma stick with this year, brought together China’s most popular stars and the platform where they get to curate and expand their popularity. The fashion looks remains my sole interest and it was … Continue reading →
