A low profile K-celeb couple got married this past week and if it wasn’t for one of my fave actresses in attendance might’ve slipped my radar. I’m glad it didn’t because So Yi Hyun and In Kyo Jin tying the knot was A-dorable from beginning to end. The two wore matching cheek-to-cheek grins with their entire face and body lighting … Continue reading →
It probably seems like piling on at this point when it comes to bad news related to SM Entertainment but this latest tragic happening garners only condolences all around. SME chairman and founder Lee Soo Man‘s wife passed away after a three year fight against cancer. She was diagnosed in 2011 with cancer of the small intestines and since then … Continue reading →
The confirmed Nicholas Tse–Faye Wong reunion train has left the station and is understandably gaining steam. It seems like everyone whether HK-C-TW entertainers or the public has something to say about it. The yay team think it’s uber-romantic that a pair of seemingly destined lovers found their way back to each other after 12 years and a marriage apiece with some … Continue reading →
Looks like Korea’s getting on the potentially messy love quadrangle action that’s been dominating the headlines over in Greater China last week with the reunion romance of two of Hong Kong’s biggest stars. It’s been an ongoing saga of innuendo of the “are they-aren’t they” questions ever since Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin wrapped their critically well-received K-drama … Continue reading →
At this point in the ongoing police investigation on the Kim Hyun Joong domestic violence case, it wouldn’t be newsworthy other than him being such a well known Korean celebrity. The reason it’s not newsworthy stems from victim “A” dropping the charges against her ex-boyfriend Kim Hyun Joong and there are simply too many cases of assault and battery happening within … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since Kim Sun Ah has been out in the public eye and that’s mostly due to her working less these past two years. This year she did have a headlining K-movie called The Five and drama-wise her last television appearance was two years ago in I Do, I Do with Lee Jang Woo. I miss her both … Continue reading →
If the recent explosive rumors about Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse are all true, then real life is surely way more fantastical than even fanfiction. Hot on the heels of an intrepid paparazzi team that staked out HK singer-actress Faye Wong’s Beijing luxury condo to capture a four day stay-in love fest with her reunited ex-boyfriend Nic Tse, there has … Continue reading →
This is too unintentionally hilarious not to share. Not to say Lee Min Ho doesn’t at times look quite striking and handsome playing the part of a motorcycle lover in hawking a brand of Chinese electric and gas-powered motorcycles, but there are too many silly asides that turn what was meant to come across as cool and instead ends up … Continue reading →
Who’s tired of the deluge of negative news coming out of K-ent lately? Not to pick on that particular industry but it could use a dating shocker or three right about now to wash away the slime of violence and blackmail and affairs and dodgy car accidents. Last year’s K-ent dating flood appears to have slowed to a trickle by … Continue reading →
I don’t write about HK entertainers much since by and large I’ve stopped watching TVB and ATVÂ HK-dramas. HK movies have also declined from the Golden Age in the late 80’s through the late 90’s in terms of creative and fun output. I still keep up to date on the latest on-dits in the HK entertainment scene and last month all … Continue reading →
I was excited enough writing about how the J-dorama version of Nodame played by Ueno Juri just happened to be in Korea at the same time that the K-drama version of Nodame Shim Eun Kyung had just started filming Tomorrow’s Cantabile. Then comes the icing on the cake seeing a picture of the two lovely ladies meeting during Juri’s visit … Continue reading →
For both sides in a legal dispute the common element is the sense of relief and closure when the litigation comes to an end. Regardless of the outcome, closure brings the chance to pay penance or move on. With Kim Hyun Joong offering a very public apology to his ex-girlfriend for his actions leading to the assault allegations, his ex-girlfriend … Continue reading →
When celebrities start dating there are only one of two outcomes – marriage or break up. And even the marriage option can later end with break up. I doubt we’ll be around for the til death do us part to arrive but it is still sad when the break up of two lovely celebs happens on my watch. Gong Hyo … Continue reading →
