Collage of people and event headlines.

Okay, after last year 2019’s epically sordid taxi makeout cheating between top singer Andy Hui with starlet Jacqueline Wong and later forgiven by Andy’s also top singer wife Sammi Cheng, it’s like the entire HK ent should be scared straight on like maybe NOT CHEATING and definitely not in public.

It’s been a few days and the public attention has dropped from 100000000% to like 90% heh. Still a whole lot and who can blame the Chinese-speaking media and rubbernecking fans for keeping the spotlight on Chinese instagram star and fashionista Grace Chow putting ex-boyfriend top idol and host Show Luo on blast for cheating on her during their 9 … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 25, 2020 by ockoalaApril 24, 2020

K-actor Kim Jung Hoon‘s career has been one of the weirder ones in the annals of K-drama prominent performances. He was super duper popular after Goong (Princess Hours) as the second male lead and I confess to liking him better than male lead Joo Ji Hoon who just seemed stiff and emotionally stunted. And yet Kim Jung Hoon’s career never … Continue reading →

Show Luo Apologizes as Netizens Impressed with His Stamina and Time Management After Grace Chow’s Cheating Reveal

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 23, 2020 by ockoalaApril 23, 2020
Two people posing with playful expressions.

I don’t think mega TW-singer/actor Show Luo will have any ramifications from this cheating on his long time now ex-girlfriend Grace Chow scandal. Ultimately he just cheated on her literally every day and in multitude of ways but it’s not a crime and for some reason no one in TW-ent seems surprised. Guess his reputation was fairly trashy behind the … Continue reading →

Two women with wavy hair, one holding strawberry.

I’m not a fan of super fast stardom rises because it’s harder to sustain the momentum. Only time will tell if rising K-drama actress Han So Hee will build upon the attention she’s garnering as the mistress character in hit jTBC makjang drama The World of the Married. I remember her foremost as the Crown Princess in 100 Days My … Continue reading →

Person in pink sweater excited about fan club.

Goodness, can this person’s skin be any thicker. Per perhaps he truly has enough fans left that he is doing this for him and it’s a mutually agreeable arrangement. Disgraced idol-actor Park Yoochun is back and this after two separate scandals/criminal investigations under his belt. Yoochun has launched his own official solo fan club called Blue Cielo, and eager and … Continue reading →

Fashion magazine cover with woman wearing sunglasses.

The way to wear all black, including with long sleeves and turtleneck and long skirt, is by being young hahaha. Seriously, the older ladies get the harder it is to pull this darkness off without being vampy and looking like Elvira. Suzy has youth and gobs of it on her side and looks wonderfully radiant and fresh at a Lancome … Continue reading →

Couple posing elegantly in a dramatic gown.

This feels like a new wedding pictorial I don’t recall seeing before. TW-stars Summer Meng and Mickey Huang registered their marriage last month legally, really low key since it’s social distancing and all, not to mention it’s also a trend for TW-ent couples to register their marriage and either forgo a ceremony or hold it much later. Despite not having … Continue reading →
