So calling it the colloquial term tax evasion obviously inputs concerted wrongdoing, but calling it tax underpayment or additional owed taxes feels like just an ooopsie oversight. I don’t know if what happened here to embroil top Korean stars is the former or latter but this week the announcement of a government investigation into a large group of rich and … Continue reading →
Well this will definitely end the discussions netizens have about Song Joong Ki marrying a woman with a complicated background. Turns out none of it is true and the couple probably just didn’t care to explain what was just randos making things up on the internet. When Song Joong Ki announced he was dating and then later married wife Katy … Continue reading →
Holy crap how can this matter keep getting worse when it was already bad enough from the outset. Police have revealed today that actor Yoo Ah In has also tested positive for cocaine and ketamine in his drug test taken when he was first investigated. The initial investigation was for unauthorized and illegal repeated propofol abuse but has since yielded … Continue reading →
I don’t know if its the height of stupidity or avarice, most likely both, that led murdered sociality Abby Choi’s ex-husband and his extended family to think they could kill her and get away with it. She’s not just a semi-famous figure in HK-ent society pages but she has a full family and husband family who would obviously note that … Continue reading →
I remember when this story broke two days ago I was like “who?” before going “OMG this is horrific and so so sad!” after reading the details. HK front page news including wall-to-wall coverage in the entertainment/society pages are all about the murder of socialite Abby Choi. She was 28-years old and the mother of four kids ages 10, 8, … Continue reading →
I’m sorry but the drug use story around Yoo Ah In continues to get worse and it’s both shocking and heartbreaking as someone who watched him go from a young promising rookie over ten years ago to an A-list movie star. K-ent is reporting that the punishment for Yoo Ah In is likely going to be severe due to the … Continue reading →
I think the situation getting more serious for K-actor Yoo Ah In is hopefully what can get him help for the long run, because propofol abuse is a really serious medical misconduct. His marijuana use is just a side issue and he can pay a fine in South Korea and the local netizens can cancel him but in many other … Continue reading →
So the fans of Love Like the Galaxy that have taken to shipping leads Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si in real life (calling the couple Nowhere to Run or Wu Lu Ke Tao based on their names) were in for a roller coaster the last few days. Over the weekend there was a hot gossip that a top ’95 … Continue reading →
Seeing this never before seen (by me at least) picture from nearly two decades ago brings back so many memories! OMG this is like right after the Winter Sonata craze and when everyone was still at their start/peak era. A picture has been making the rounds showing five top male leads in K-ent in what looks like a boy band … Continue reading →
K-actor Kim Sung Cheol is the youngest of the three rotating male leads in the Korean stage performance of Shakespeare in Love so he’s been the most prolific in sharing goodies with fans. It’s a bonus to see him snapping Instas with all three of his rotating Violas with Kim Yoo Jung, Chae Soo Bin, and Jung So Min in … Continue reading →
I think if I were a Wang Yibo fan the best course of action is to be absolutely silent and just let this scandal die down naturally when the next scandal from someone else comes along. But instead it’s gotten BIGGER and wow it’s like the trending-est thing in C-ent so it’s hard reading about to avoid even if I … Continue reading →
Well my article on the near collapse of three of the four leads in Sungkyunkwan Scandal was prescient by a few days considering some have pointed out that Park Min Young was merely scandal by association for dating an alleged fraudster. Today K-ent is reporting that Park Min Young herself was under investigation for involvement in his financial crimes case … Continue reading →
This is like getting called out by the school principal, embarrassing as heck but whether there are broader implications it’s not clear yet. This past weekend the Chinese Central Television official website published an article by a news reporter discussing the scourge of young actors who are “The Hopeless Illiterate” after that term started trending. The trend started due to … Continue reading →
