The actress is reportedly staying in a luxurious single room hospital suite for delivery … Continue reading →
It’s like bad news around Big Bang member Seungri comes in twos. First he was embroiled in a scandal involving a night club The Burning Sun where he was an investor accused of fostering an environment of sexual assault and later closed down.

The list of TW-actresses from the popular idol drama days of the last decade and a half who are married and/or married with baby now significantly outnumber the still single ones.
