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 →
Welp, Ah Se’s reputation just went into the gutter but it will need to be seen if this is an unforgivable (to C-netizens and Chinese moral police) transgression or just the the garden variety you’ve been a bad boy living up your playboy life type of tsk tsk thing. This past weekend C-ent was lit up with a bombshell gossip … Continue reading →
This is so been there done that in C-ent, the moment a scandal breaks the star is dropped like a hot potato by brands AND on the hook thereafter for penalties stemming from breach of contract with the image and morality clause. You can question the fairness of such a clause but in contracts when one party pays for something … Continue reading →
The situation is getting worse for K-actor Yoo Ah In and it will need to be seen whether he will face any heavy legal consequences or just be fined. Today K-ent has reported that during the investigation into Yoo Ah In’s alleged illegal propofol abuse, he was ordered to test for other substances and his urine test came back positive … Continue reading →
Looks like the system Korea has in place to investigate illegal use of prescription drugs is working. K-actor Yoo Ah In is under investigation for illegal propofol abuse and his agency has said he is fully cooperating. Turns out his name was merely one of over 50 individuals identified by the state Ministry of Food and Drug Safety after they … Continue reading →
Dang, what a disappointing news story to hear about another K-celeb potentially violating the law. K-ent is reporting that top young actor Yoo Ah In is under police investigation and has been questioned for allegations of illegal and repeated use of the drug Propofol. It’s an intravenous anesthetic used for medical procedures and there have been more than a few … Continue reading →
So this is genuinely one of those incredible projects that most K-drama lovers will not be able to experience but I can still follow along as a fan of talented stars taking on cool challenges. The three actress and three actor leads for the stage production of Shakespeare in Love attended the press conference this week ahead of the upcoming … Continue reading →
The cancellations in C-ent have been always been fast and furious and such is the price of promoting in an industry that demands adherence to certain norms. C-actor Zhang Zhe Han‘s complete career destruction has been one of those that is either justified or totally blown out of proportion. It’s clear he has no chance of coming back in the … Continue reading →
