I quite like that K-actress Jo Boa isn’t all that popular yet, I feel like some IT things peak too early or for the wrong reasons. Jo Boa has been on the radar since Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, and was one of the best things about the silly Surplus Princess. She went dark for Missing Noir M and is … Continue reading →
Lee Min Ho keeps winning awards, and this particular one feels super fitting for him. He just won duty free brand Lotte‘s Best Model award for 2015, which is no small feat since the brand employs many many Hallyu stars (idols and acting talent) to pose for various campaigns. The win feels rather empty since Lee Min Ho has been … Continue reading →
I really want to have a talk with Seolhyun‘s manager because this is such a boneheaded move I can’t even. And don’t tell me the whole “didn’t know” claptrap, anything other than an intentional conjuring rings hollow. AOA’s Seolhyun has been quite the popular young idol last year, with her agency FNC pushing the whole “Next Suzy” bit, but in truth … Continue reading →
It takes a lot to to breakthrough in acting popularity, and that wall is even higher when one is known for playing antagonist characters. That’s the route C-actress Yang Rong has taken but one that has paid off in spades despite playing characters that are totally hateful. It helps that her acting is amazingly nuanced and riveting, managing to infuse … Continue reading →
I know Kang Dong Won is a box office winner and critically acclaimed A-list movie star in Korea, but can he never stop entertaining me with his fashion choices. I’ve now crossed that line between mildly aghast and supremely impressed, which was a big canyon divide to be honest but with Kang Dong Won at the helm not hard to … Continue reading →
Whatever sartorial elf lives in K-actor Kang Dong Won‘s head, it needs to pop up and take a bow because the man has been a total treat to watch this month doing the press circuit for his movie A Violent Prosecutor with Hwang Jung Min. Sure, he probably has a coordi who has been putting him in one bizarre fashion … Continue reading →
Taiwan actor Bolin Chen has been making in roads into Korean entertainment and the boy is certainly not doing it half-heartedly. First came his Jeju road trip movie Bad Guys Must Die with Son Ye Jin, now he’s filming the second season of Chinese We Got Married with Song Ji Hyo, and coming soon is his Chinese-Korean movie Risking Life … Continue reading →
Ariel Lin continues to be a shining star for Taiwan entertainment, embodying plenty of positive traits from talented actress to charming star and now she can add budding fashion interviewer to the resume. Ariel was in NYC this previous September for the Coach Spring 2016 Fashion Show, herself a Coach spokesmodel in Taiwan as the brand continues to make inroads … Continue reading →
Burberry is an iconic British fashion house and Lee Jong Seok found a great fit in joining the celebs who rep the brand. I was wholly underwhelmed with his head-to-toe Burberry outfit from last October’s brand event in Seoul, but he’s redeemed himself and then some at last week’s Burberry fashion show held in London, England. Lee Jong Seok was … Continue reading →
Watching a breakout happen when it’s someone I’ve followed since way back when feels extra sweet, like a diamond in the rough finally getting the final coat of polish and set out for everyone else to admire. Park Bo Gum has been on my radar since weekend drama Wonderful Days, playing the younger version of Lee Seo Jin in a … Continue reading →
What a great way to start off the new year for C-actress Tang Yan, landing the cover and pages of Bazaar China in the cutest and most vibrant photo spread I’ve ever seen from her. It’s pink and adorable with a slide of bubblegum sexy, sorta like her take on Katy Perry. I felt like her major breakout season in 2015 last … Continue reading →
These days any news around Bu Bu Jing Xin is all about the K-version adaptation, which isn’t remaking the C-drama but is adapting the original source C-novel in its own way. That’s good because the C-version had its own flair and wasn’t completely identical to the novel, and also because trying to copy a copy greatly increases the odds of … Continue reading →
A-list Korean movie star Kang Dong Won isn’t one of my faves, and in fact I’m probably in the minority where he does nothing for me, but he’s undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed actors of his age group. He’s also been known as quite the fashion plate and his most recent public forays to promote the K-movie A Violent … Continue reading →
