I’ve loved me some boba tea ever since it was invented like 30 years ago but nowadays it’s impossible to deny that the concoction has evolved beyond tea and tapioca pearls. You can’t walk a block anywhere in a major city without getting hit by a boba store banner but the drinks are way to sweet and more of a … Continue reading →
I still remember vividly when EXO debuted, all the excitement from SM Entertainment‘s hype machine and releasing teasers for each of the original 12 members. Since 2011 the last 8 years have been a solid ride from though, though EXO-K still has the original 6 members of this subgroup whole EXO-M lost three Chinese-born members in successive years. Now the … Continue reading →
It’s perp walk time for singer Roy Kim and I’d be remiss not to report on it when I’ve posted about his fellow chatroom buddies Seungri, Jung Joon Young, and Choi Jong Hoon facing the music earlier. Roy Kim was a later addition to this motley crew though fans noted right from the start about his potential involvement when the … Continue reading →
Man, things just keep staying bad for idol-actor Park Yoochun, and one would think with the recent spate of K-star misbehavior that Yoochun’s prior scandal would pale in comparison. Unfortunately for him, the current news is either tangentially or directly connected to him and he’s taking the offense to claim the former. Park Yoochun held a press conference today reading … Continue reading →
I think the US is in the era of rear ends for the last few years, thanks to a certain last name starting with K family and the rise of athleisure and tights. I’m not enamored of the large rear small waist look but the transition for tights/leggings from workout wear to everyday outdoor bottoms have made me cognizant of … Continue reading →
Now this is a surprising elective selection by singer-actor Park Hyung Sik. It’s been revealed that he applied for the elite Capital Defense Force of the South Korea army for his upcoming military enlistment. I’ve heard of the army, navy, air force, marines (hardest of them all), and of course public service for those who are physically unable to do … Continue reading →
The rumors are correct yet again coming from eagle-eyed C-netizens and the always gleeful to spread gossip C-news. Top married acting couple Mark Chao and Gao Yuan Yuan are indeed expecting a baby, their first child after 5 years of marriage and unending questions about when they were going to create progeny with their enviable visual genes. In March the … Continue reading →
There is two confirmed news about Suzy, all breaking on the same Monday morning in Seoul. First confirmed news is that after leaving longtime agency JYP she has signed with SOOP Management, the same rumored agency she was headed to and the same agency as top movie star Gong Yoo and other famous stars including Gong Hyo Jin, Kim Jae … Continue reading →
The cherry blossoms are blooming and what a beautiful season to hold a wedding. The Shilla Hotel in Seoul was the site of a star-studded celebrity wedding this weekend, the marriage of singer-actress Lee Jung Hyun to her non-celebrity husband. She’s been in the industry since the late 90’s but has a rather intermittent portfolio due to taking a long … Continue reading →
Two more 87-line K-actors are coming back, and hooboy this isn’t the best time to return to K-ent what with the fire power of scandal swirling around. Lee Min Ho and Ji Chang Wook enlisted within days of each other and both will be discharged at the end of April 2019. Ji Chang Wook served in the army performing arts … Continue reading →
The week marked the start of the end of the 30-year run Heisei era in Japan with the announcement of the next era name of Reiwa, with the current Emperor abdicating and passing the throne to the Crown Prince. Heisei was preceded by Showa which remains the longest era in Japanese history of 63 years. Still, 30 years is quite … Continue reading →
The Be Like Taecyeon model behavior in the army has it’s first successor. Actor-idol Yoon Doo Joon has been serving his military enlistment in army active duty since August 2018 when he was rather abruptly hauled off even before his drama shooting for Let’s Eat 3 wrapped. He’s been quietly and dutifully doing his civic duty and apparently quite well … Continue reading →
I’m still interested in the former top C-actress Fan Bing Bing situation, for one she truly got to the top of a very competitive China market and she’s paid all her owed taxes for the tax evasion which wasn’t even about whether she was successful but merely that she kept more money than she should have. Even after paying millions … Continue reading →
