Chris Wang is one of those TW-actors who are pleasant to watch but never grip me. He’s all earnest pleasant lines without any hurts so good edges. He’s managed to build an impressive leading man career off of a second male lead springboard when he was in highly rated drama The Fierce Wife with Sonia Sui and James Wen. That happened … Continue reading →
Call it coincidence or perhaps the contentment stemming from runaway popularity, a mere two weeks after Kim Soo Hyun lit up the C-netizens and media by looking noticeably rounder at a car show, it’s Lee Min Ho‘s turn to set the tongues a-wagging. Lee Min Ho was snapped leaving Korea headed for China, a trip he’s been taking regularly this … Continue reading →
Things appear to be winding down in the public and personal side of the recent K-ent scandal where A-list movie star Lee Byung Hun was blackmail by two young ladies using a recorded racy late night conversation. One of the blackmailers was Dahee of girl group GLAM while the other being a model who claimed she was having an affair … Continue reading →
This is news to me but apparently K-ent has long seen same age K-actresses Sung Yuri and Jang Nara are face-twins. Really? They’re both ridiculously pretty and don’t seem to age one whit from their late teen debut days, but for some reason I’m not seeing the resemblance much. With that said, Sung Yuri has been hosting the candid discussion … Continue reading →
This might be the beginning of the end but I for one am thrilled to bring the news that the first Super Junior member to get married for realz will be Sungmin! Member Lee Sung Min, recently sporting a very unfortunate hair-over-eyes look for the “Mamacita” promotions, has confirmed the recent rumors that he will be tying the knot with … Continue reading →
At this point I’m girding myself for one bombshell news a week from K-ent from here on out until 2014 finally ends. I suppose SM Entertainment can breathe a sigh of relief that this news nugget doesn’t involve the agency. Idol-actor Lee Joon is stripping the idol from his career effective immediately as he’s officially left the K-pop group MBLAQ. … Continue reading →
Kim Soo Hyun (along with Lee Min Ho) have been the two most prominent Korean entertainers dominating the C-language entertainment news publications for the better part of the year. It’s not just having successful hit dramas like You From Another Star and Heirs, they’ve also exponentially grown their fanbase in the Chinese speaking countries so there is a voracious appetite … Continue reading →
I’m not going to fault Lee Min Ho for doing this since there is clearly an audience for whatever he’s selling. Lee Min Ho is spending October and November on a series of Asian fan meetings with all of October devoted to hitting up four of China’s biggest cities. He’s calling it the Re: Minho Tour, but I think it’s … Continue reading →
When watching the K-drama Prime Minister and I, when Yoona‘s character was still a entertainment tabloid reporter, she would lurk in dark places where the celebs were hanging out to snap surreptitious pictures and have funny encounters. The reporters at Dispatch might hate that glamorization of their jobs which in reality involves squatting in the dark for hours waiting for the … Continue reading →
This is a fun little dating rumor to come out of drama land, of which we have to all admit has been royally lackluster lately in terms of quality or buzz. An insider on the MBC set of the fantasy sageuk Records of a Night Watchman has tipped off the press that a budding couple has emerged from filming together. … Continue reading →
I like to be a completest if I’m covering a K-ent case and this latest one come came and went like a whirling dervish. Even before the dust settled on the shocking defamation lawsuit that led to the revelation that Cha Seung Won‘s eldest son Cha No Ah was not his by birth, the whole thing is over with the … Continue reading →
Another screen goddess is off the single ladies market and this upcoming engagement is garnering congratulations all around. TW-actress Ariel Lin has confirmed that she’s getting officially engaged to her long-time non-celeb boyfriend Charles Lin on October 29th in Taipei. The invitations have gone out in traditional Chinese red with gold embossed tracing and lettering, and with it legions of … Continue reading →
Cha Seung Won is one of my early K-actor faves and continues on to this day when I’ll check out any drama if he’s in it. With that said, it’s shocking and sad to hear that he’s embroiled in a legal case aimed at unearthing his personal life privacy by turning it into something as makjang as a weekend K–drama birth … Continue reading →
