I haven’t checked in with the Korean advertising association monthly star CF rankings but October is a nice point to see how things have changed, or haven’t, now that the year is wrapping up. The October rankings keep top Hallyu movie star Gong Yoo on top, still riding the high of last year’s Train to Busan with added boost from … Continue reading →

Normally when a male Korean star heads into military service it’s with the expectation that the army will whip them into shape and emerge manlier than before. That’s why it’s pretty funny and cute that idol-actor Taecyeon enlisted in the army last month and appeared to have turned back into a young boy.

I do love the sincerity and simplicity of top Korean stars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo‘s wedding invitation for the month end nuptials.
