A Koala's Playground Posted on April 22, 2015 by ockoalaApril 21, 2015
Seated woman in sheer dress and suited man

I feel like if Rain and Kim Tae Hee started dating five years ago, before he left for the army, theirs would be the K-ent star couple to dwarf all other star couples before them. One is the top solo idol of his generation, with a side gig in acting, while the other is a natural beauty and brains Seoul … Continue reading →

Another K-ent dating news started this week off with a fast pitch out of the gate, pardon the pun but I just had to use it since rarely do I get to use baseball jargon. Notch another name off the list of single SNSD (Girl’s Generation) members as Kwon Yuri has just been revealed to be dating Korean relief pitcher … Continue reading →

Famous Chinese Actresses Try on the Cinderella Ballgown for Size

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 18, 2015 by ockoalaApril 17, 2015
Five women in colorful, flowing dresses.

There’s a viral photo shop series going around this past week featuring a handful of the currently most popular Chinese actresses spliced into the iconic Cinderella live-action movie poster featuring Lily James. It’s totally worth checking out even if the photo shop skills aren’t the best and some of the pictures used of certain actresses are less than ideal choices. It gives a … Continue reading →

Two people: one casual, one in wedding attire.

Count me in with the group that is not surprised Song Joong Ki landed the male lead role in Kim Eun Sook‘s big budget high profile upcoming drama Descendants of the Sun. I love him as an actor and a genuinely nice guy, but even then I’m still constantly taken aback at how popular and beloved he is in Korea. … Continue reading →

Celebrity Magazine Snaps Dapper Gentleman Ji Chang Wook

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 7, 2015 by ockoalaApril 7, 2015

I wish Celebrity magazine would change its title, just to avoid the inevitable cringe I get everytime I see a cover star’s face plastered right under the too obvious title. Aside from that, the latest Ji Chang Wook pictorial in Celebrity magazine signals the end of Healer Seo Jung Woo as the drama hair is gone and replaced with a … Continue reading →

Group of six stylishly dressed individuals.

Three Up and Three Down (三上三下) is the most apt description for the final celebrity casting of the C-version of popular Korean variety show We Got Married, as the earlier leaks got three right and three wrong. Titled We are in Love (or Let’s Fall in Love), the C-version is produced in full conjunction with the original MBC production team … Continue reading →

Happy couple posing together in black and white.

I should have guessed wedding bells were not far away when Elle Korea profiled real life celebrity couple Yoon Seung Ah and Kim Moo Yeol, doing a lovely couple’s pictorial that is all sorts of envy-inducing for how the two radiated affection for each other.
