It’s been almost a week but it’s still surreal to think that Taiwanese-Canadian actor and model Godfrey Gao has passed away. His family went to China to claim his body after he suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 35 years old while filming a C-variety show. His body arrived in Taipei this Monday accompanied by his second … Continue reading →
I feel like the heavily male skewed main cast of MBC drama Extraordinary You got a lot of attention for Ro Woon and especially Lee Jae Wook but I’m also intrigued by Kim Young Dae. He looks like a younger version of movie star Kang Dong Won but never got to flex in EY because he was the least interesting … Continue reading →

FUCK YOU 2019. Seriously. I cannot believe I am writing about two Asian celebrity deaths in the same week. One is already insane and painful, two just confirms this is one of the worst years ever in blogging about East Asian entertainment.

It’s been a quiet few months on the news front with arrested actor Kang Ji Hwan.

The deja vu is so thick with the passing of K-star Goo Hara just a month after her good friend and fellow K-star Sulli passed away. Both girls where in their late 20’s and prime of their lives but chose to leave early rather than live in this world. Goo Hara’s family has announced a private funeral but her agency … Continue reading →
I’m truly at a loss for words. Every K-ent suicide from the first that I covered as a blogger (that would be Park Yong Ha in 2010) to the latest with Sulli last month in October, has always been difficult to process.
