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 →
The month long personal turned very public legal matter between Kim Hyun Joong and his now ex-girlfriend “A” may be coming to an end. From the moment the shocking news broke that Kim Hyun Joong’s ex-girlfriend had gone to the police to allege domestic violence against her, this case has understandably riveted K-ent due to Kim Hyun Joong’s popularity as … Continue reading →
Not to downplay the seriousness of the allegations of domestic violence lobbed at Kim Hyun Joong, but there has been a surreal “the show must go on” atmosphere surrounding the progression of the legal case. His sit down interview with the police was delayed almost two weeks since he was in and out of the country on stops for his … Continue reading →
There’s a new twist in the Lee Byung Hun blackmailing legal matter that doesn’t exonerate the accused young ladies but does paint him in an even worse light if the information is true. The two accused are 20 year old Dahee of the girl group GLAM and a model named Lee Ji Yeon who is 25 years old. Scrutiny had … Continue reading →
Three years is basically an eternity when it comes to the lightning speed of K-entertainment. New idol groups mushroom like an unholy army of dancing clones and the tide of new actors and actresses arrive to vie for a spot on a casting roster. A-list actors and actresses can afford to go three years and even more without an acting … Continue reading →
It’s with a heavy sad heart that I have to write a post that Rise (Kwon Ri Sae) of the girl’s group Ladies Code didn’t pull through after the catastrophic car accident 5 days ago which already took the life of her fellow group member EunB. Rise passed away this morning Korea time at 10:10 am at the intensive care … Continue reading →
Is it just me or does Park Seo Joon and Lee Jong Seok give up strikingly similar vibes? It’s probably always been there but since I’ve never paid attention to Lee Jong Seok until recently after Dr. Stranger, it feel like discovering a new set of facetwins. Park Seo Joon is in the pages of the July issues of Marie … Continue reading →
I don’t follow the C-entertainers as regularly as I do the Korean or Taiwanese actors and actresses since it’s more project specific whether I want to watch something from C-drama land. That means it can be awhile before I encounter a C-star from the last time I saw him/her and if there are tweaks here and there it may raise … Continue reading →
This latest scandal out of K-ent is a combination bad decision, bad behavior, and lawbreaking all wrapped into one. 2014 really is a terrible year for K-ent and if the remaining celebs who haven’t tasted the downside of fame this year want to go into hibernation mode until 2015 then I would totally understand. News broke earlier this week that … Continue reading →
Now that the Kim Hyun Joong domestic violence allegations are entering into the police sorting through statements and evidence phase, the news will likely ebb until its time for the police to make a recommendation to the prosecutor’s office and/or there is a settlement and the matter is resolved that way. This post will serve as a suitable capper for … Continue reading →
Hopefully this will quell the public furor for now and let the police do their job investigating. Kim Hyun Joong arrived at the police station on the evening of September 2nd to attend the investigative summons on his assault and battery case filed by his ex-girlfriend. The allegations were made over two weeks ago but his agency Keyeast reached an … Continue reading →
I’m calling this a threesome or three-fer what with the third set of wedding pictures to drop within the span of two weeks for yet another celebrity cross-border couple. C-actress Qi Wei and her Korean-American actor hubby Lee Seung Hyun (Nathan Lee) made headlines last month when he surprised her on the island of Saipan with a very romantic beach … Continue reading →
