Binnie was of course happy to be there but the press … Continue reading →

We all need some healing at the end of a rough news week whether in K-ent or elsewhere around the world, this second full week of March 2019.

Park Bo Gum Really Enjoys His Coca-Cola in New CF Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 22, 2019 by ockoalaFebruary 23, 2019

I totally get why Park Bo Gum may not be a lot of people’s cup of tea, though I think way more people like than dislike him based on his wild popularity in Korea. He’s got this beaming smile and clean cut good looks, liking him can be likened to loving white bread but I find way more depth in … Continue reading →

It’s a testament to K-actress Park Shin Hye‘s incredible popularity that a haircut would get written up by every singe major K-ent publication. Her every move is scrutinized and she’s done an amazing job of growing up in the public eye through success and even less than successful acting roles over nearly two decades.

Park Shin Hye Posts Cheerful Selfies with Memories of Alhambra Cast at Wrap Party

With all the viewer feedback and opinions on recently wrapped tvN sci-fi drama Memories of Alhambra, male lead Hyun Bin reportedly said it was the longest drama he’s ever filmed and the most grueling. That likely means the cast and crew formed a tight bond during filming especially the skeleton crew that lived in Spain for nearly two months for … Continue reading →

I think it’s such a hassle to get dressed head-to-toe matching, especially including accessories, so it’s easier and way more fun to check out stars when they do go the entire mile. Actress-singer Suzy is one of those K-stars that doesn’t have any down periods in her promotional career, ever since her debut 8 years ago she’s always seen somewhere … Continue reading →
