But this time everything seems off and the outage again has gone one for over 2 days so I’m not sure if Soompi … Continue reading →
We get a two-fer this week, with two young male stars returning from military service after a two year absence.

I was surprised and so pleased to see an event tap into the adorable potential that is the married K-star couple of Kim Moo Yeol and Yoon Seung Ah.

I’m sure this is a relief for the stars involved and for the netizens this is closure on what was an unnecessarily public event what should be personal.

I’m so glad his hair grew out for this PR event because the Itaewon Class buzz cut does not project the image of a nice hardworking office worker average joe type.

Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions.

I’m going to say it again, seeing the latest pictures of Jang Geun Seok feels like the last ten years have been erased and he’s back to being the young actor on the cusp of stardom from a wildly promising child actor career.
