It’s rare among recent years not to see Kim Soo Hyun attending last week’s Baeksang Arts Award, he’s been a staple there ever since his breakout with The Moon Embraces the Sun and onward with successive years making major hit movies and K-dramas. I can’t even say he’s passing the baton to the juniors since he’s only 29 years old, making … Continue reading →
I used to teasingly refer to Shin Se Kyung as the chinless wonder, thanks to her having a relatively weak chin and being pretty darn bland at acting. That all changed thanks to her sparkling and spot-on turn as The Girl Who Sees Smells, which sadly is a drama that has limited re-watch potential due to no fault of her … Continue reading →
It’s impossible for everything to always be a success but on the hit-and-miss scale the career of Jeon Ji Hyun has been exceptionally successful to a mind-boggling degree. Setting aside her acting or box office and ratings successes, she’s been quite the trend setter for nearly two decades and it’s not hard to see why. Her beauty is both breathtaking … Continue reading →
I still remember two years ago when the Met Gala‘s theme was China: Through the Looking Glass and half of the fashionable C-stars were in Manhattan for the coveted event. For the 2017 Met Gala only actress Yang Mi and model Liu Wen walked the red carpet for an evening celebrating the groundbreaking fashion of famed Commes Des Garcon head … Continue reading →
Space may be the final frontier but I have yet to see Asian entertainment really produce space themes shows or movies. This year may be going into uncharted territory with a space genre K-drama in the works, and on the C-ent side actress Liu Shi Shi represented in London this weekend for the Omega Watch “Lost in Space” event with … Continue reading →
Leave it to a high fashion publication like W Korea to leave me amused and befuddled at the same time. Additional pictures are out of the magazine’s April edition pictorial featuring top Hallyu star Song Joong Ki, and this complete look at the concept makes me wonder who at the magazine needed a business trip out to the desert to … Continue reading →
Summer feels like its around the corner when I see the latest beach pictorial of Gong Yoo for the brand Discovery Expedition. The outdoor wear trend in South Korea doesn’t look like its slowing down in any way and beaches of Busan and Jejudo seem perfect to catch a wave. Sometimes a brand model doesn’t come across as the perfect … Continue reading →
After the impressively nuanced performance by Yang Mi as the female lead of fantasy romance novel Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms, it’s now time to look forward to this summer’s condensed take by Crystal Liu playing the same character in movie length. Bazaar China is taking a first crack at featuring Crystal in a modern muse spread … Continue reading →
The April edition of Marie Claire Korea features the first major Korean fashion magazine pictorial of actress Yoon Eun Hye in quite some time. It didn’t disappoint in the first released pictures and continues to satisfy in the recently made available additional shots. This wasn’t a location shoot with the focus being solely on the model and her outfits and … Continue reading →
I can’t help but simultaneously chuckle and cringe at the massive cover tagline for Yoona‘s May Grazia Magazine pictorial. The all caps “I am single and happy” is fine and dandy as the refrain for the empowered single lady as beautiful and successful as the singer-actress, but knowing that she dated Lee Seung Gi for over a year and it … Continue reading →
The career of So Ji Sub hit the 20th anniversary milestone this year, and in many ways he’s remained a man who prefers his own beat than one clamoring for a piece of the Hallyu pie. His arguably buzziest drama was The Master’s Sun with Gong Hyo Jin, but he really rocketed to the top actor tier a decade earlier … Continue reading →
It’s a rite of passage for top young actresses to cut their hair really short for a drama role, and it usually works more than it doesn’t. Yoon Eun Hye for Coffee Prince, Park Shin Hye in You’re Beautiful, Moon Chae Won’s cut in Goodbye Mr. Black, the list goes on and now Suzy joins in her first ever short … Continue reading →
The spate of TW-actresses who got married last year leaves the thinning herd of eligible single ladies for the media to bombard with relationship queries. Rainie Yang is on the younger side at 32 years old so there is no rush for her to tie the knot, but she’s been in a steady relationship with Chinese singer Li Rong Hao … Continue reading →
