Recent hit variety shows like Grandpas Over Flowers and Three Meals a Day have made Na PD even more of an household name, but the credit for those addicting shows isn’t just in his deft directing but also in landing the perfect unexpected participant in Lee Seo Jin. I still can’t wrap my mind around Lee Seo Jin, the stalwart … Continue reading →
The hot off the Yoo Seung Ho press pictorial from High Cut magazine feels like a dessert on top of the recent Adidas CF campaign. It’s basically a continuation of his running man persona from the Adidas ads, which makes sense since he’s modeling the same brand gear in the High Cut pictures. I love his presence in the pics, … Continue reading →
Thank goodness it’s not going to be three strikes for Korean outdoorwear brand Millet when it comes to maximizing the chemistry of spokescouple Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye. The brand already majorly failed the first two photo spreads, with dull lifeless snaps of the two models clearly taken separately and then photoshopped next to each other. So much … Continue reading →
It’s so perfect that my favorite picture from the recently released Yoochun pictorial in Marie Claire Korea is the one where half his face is hiding behind a turtleneck. The picture slays on the power of his piercing eyes alone, enough to identify him for me even with just the nose on up visible. He’s not the best looking idol … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t be surprised if Rainie Yang will be one of the next top Taiwan stars to bid farewell to the single life. There have been so many weddings in the last year with Ariel Lin and Jay Chou and Sonia Sui, and not to mention babies following soon thereafter. Rainie graces the cover and pages of the August issue … Continue reading →
I freaking love this latest Hyun Bin pictorial for the outdoor wear brand K2, but I can also see why it may not be everyone’s cup of sexy tea. Binnie has been the face of this brand for multiple seasons now, but in the just released stills from the upcoming fall/winter 2015 pictorial, he’s going for the grizzled outdoorsman look … Continue reading →
I really appreciate the new fall ad campaign for menswear brand The Class, and not just because Kang Min Hyuk is in it with his CNBlue bandmates Lee Jung Shin, Jung Yong Hwa, and Lee Jong Hyun. Brand pictorials start with the premise of selling the underlying product, so having stars in the campaign is complementary or even subordinate to the … Continue reading →
I think Lee Jong Seok may have dodged a bullet here by passing on in development K-drama Beautiful Mind (formerly Dr. Frankenstein). Last week came the surprising news that Beautiful Mind/Dr. Frankenstein, the project that was being touted last year in late 2014 among the multiple personality glut of dramas, was still being shopped around and that red hot young actor Lee … Continue reading →
This isn’t my favorite pictorial from Lee Min Ho, continuing a trend of him being hit-or-miss for me lately. Lee Min Ho was in LA in early August to shoot a spread for Elle Korea that is best described as funky in the desert. It’s like a mish-mash of styles and outfits, none of which go really well with the … Continue reading →
China is definitely on wedding watch when it comes to A-list superstar acting couple Fan Bing Bing and Li Chen, and who can blame when they are both so age-appropriate to tie the knot and look so darn in love. Striking while the iron is hot, Bazaar China just landed the coveted cover and inside pages spread of the couple … Continue reading →
I’ve only written about Nam Joo Hyuk after Who Are You: School 2015 for two reasons, the first being that he’s going on to do more drama roles and that’s the topic I cover, and the other being that he’s not as wooden or awful as the shipping wars incessantly ragged on him. With that said, School 2015 second male lead … Continue reading →
I guess credit has to be given to Korean outdoor wear brand Millet for batting two-out-of-two for this year’s CF campaigns. Too bad it’s two-out-of-two in striking out miserably, made all the worse by landing two fantastic brand models in Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye who have proven chemistry with each other and as models. For the early … Continue reading →
This might not interest most folks but fans of Yoon Eun Hye will be happy to see her finally back on the small screen. Even if the small screen program she’s on is in China rather than picking a Korean drama, at least she’s doing what she loves in fashion design by joining the five female star line up for … Continue reading →
