Top C-drama actress Yang Mi celebrated her birthday this week on September 12th and many of her industry friends and her huge fandom were there to wish her well.

Thankfully the K-media is all over this one as well and for good reason because the allegations if true are baaaaaaad. K-pop star Taeil (Moon Tae Il), a member … Continue reading →
It’s better to know the outcome just to plan the future and now it’s clear for C-actress Song Zu Er what her option(s) are after the tax scandal. The recent news is that she’s had to pay over $300,000 USD in unpaid back taxes but it’s been determined to be missed taxes rather than intentional tax evasion. The latter would … Continue reading →
