Immediately C-netizens surmised that it’s a diss track … Continue reading →
Nothing like a member getting kicked/left out conflict that drum up way more publicity than just a regular announcement of a reunion concert for a top TW-group.

Since she is already Japan’s biggest pop star for three decades running its hard to give her more accolades and props and yet she still impresses in her professionalism and perseverance.

I can see not scheduling or postponing further out events but to cancel a big concert the day before the event is really bad political PR. But I guess the Chinese government doesn’t care as this Saturday’s big J-pop concert in Shanghai but top star Ayumi Hamasaki was abruptly cancelled the day before the event. Her side is not commenting … Continue reading →
There is another sad news out of K-ent this week and its the passing of a singer that I remember his OST songs so well is some of my favorite K-dramas.

The song began to play including his sung lyric lines but his microphone … Continue reading →
Sometimes pasta is just yummy pasta but for TW-singer Hebe Tian it’s the source of two years and counting being cancelled by Mainland China.

It’s nice to have friends in talented places and the very very multi-talented Jo Jung Seok deserves all the love.

So there has been one return from the recent batch of cancelled C-stars and it’s none other than the talented Zhang Zhe Han.

Musical The Phantom of the Opera was my entry into the world of stage where it’s been a lifelong love affair. The score and songs remain excellent to this day but once I got older I realized how sus the entire story was haha. Everyone loved the Phantom over lame Raoul but honestly the former was basically groomer/kidnapper. Anyhoo, the … Continue reading →
I feel like the real life friendship between IU and Lee Jun Ki happened because they are both so hard working and cool in real life and because it is sort of karma for how much the viewers shipped them in Moon Lovers and we all got shafted. It wasn’t just the sad ending, we knew what Bu Bu Jing … Continue reading →
