I always felt like the personal life scandal of K-actor Kim Sun Ho in October 2021 was overblown due to how he suddenly got so popular in the year prior and also his ardent fans promoting his good guy image Otherwise it’s not a law-breaking issue merely messiness in a prior romantic relationship and it’s not one that K-ent finds … Continue reading →

So the opening night red carpet at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival was but one of the many moments for film stars the world over to make an impression.

Monday night was the opening of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and I’m only posting pictures of the C-actresses in attendance.

This movie might be the best comeback vehicle Kim Sun Ho after his rapid ascendance to leading man status was halted after his personal life messiness shed different light on his fandom’s push for him to be seen as the good boy type persona.

While K-ent is calling out sports movie Dream for NOT being a major breakout hit needed to reinvigorate the lackluster Chungmuro, K-netizens are not buying that argument and the movie production itself seems quite happy with what it’s achieved.

K-actor Ryu Jun Yeol just won the Best Actor Award at the 2023 Baeksang Awards in the film side for sageuk thriller The Night Owl so it’s rather fitting that the movie is being discussed as the last “hit” domestic film in Chungmuro for the last 6 months.

Well this is certainly good news for the production company especially since this movie was filmed over three years ago and seemed to languish in post-production leaving one to wonder as to the end product.
