That he’s landed the cover of the first issue of the new year of a ladies … Continue reading →
K-actorJi Chang Wook has been gone from the entertainment limelight for 4 months since enlisting for his mandatory military service in the middle of August.

Out of the detritus of the failed K-drama remake of Chinese romance time-travel novel Bu Bu Jing Xin (Startling with Each Step) comes friendships and even lasting memories of performances that worked despite the failure of the greater construct. Two of the brotherly leads of Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo recently showed their closeness in real life when 4th Prince Lee … Continue reading →
One unfortunate outfit for a star is enough for media to write a post about, but to do it in four successive events is quite a feat and my beloved Ha Ji Won did just that in Taiwan this week. Ha Ji Won was in Taipei to promote upcoming C-movie Manhunt directed by John Woo with her having a supporting … Continue reading →
I’m so relieved Moon Geun Young is all recovered from her health scare earlier this year and is ending the year on a high note, with the release of her indie movie Glass Garden and rather light promos on her schedule now that the Busan Film Festival is over. Her latest pictorial for The Big Issue hits all the right … Continue reading →
No one would consider 18 years the blink of an eye but somehow it feels that way when told that Taiwanese actress-singer Rainie Yang just celebrated her 18th year in the entertainment industry. She debuted in 1998 but didn’t really hit the limelight until a supporting role in Meteor Garden, and her career truly has surpassed that of MG’s female … Continue reading →
It’s fantastic to see K-actress Yoon Eun Hye back on television albeit in a variety show rather than my preferred K-drama return. She’s on a show called Dear My Human which showcases the daily home life of a celebrity and pet, and in this case we see Yoon Eun Hye’s spacious condo and her little puppy dog. She’s been gone … Continue reading →
The first pictorial of any K-star returning from military service is always a combination of checking out if he’s gotten manlier and seeing how fast his buzz cut hair has grown in a few weeks. For Lee Seung Gi, it’s a resounding gorgeous on both counts for this Star1 pictorial, he’s really added an additional manly layer on top of … Continue reading →
Baseball season ended in dramatic fashion this week in the US professional league but in South Korea it’s still fall classic for a country that also loves this sport. Korean actress-idol Suzy made her fourth pre-game celebrity first pitch appearance on the mound since her debut, looking radiant and believably sporty. She’s not so thin that seeing her throw a … Continue reading →
October 2017 is really ending on a downer with the car accident loss of a top movie and drama leading man, but life goes on and it’s with a optimistic heart to welcome back a top star who has been diligently serving his mandatory military service for the past 22 months. Actor-singer-variety star Lee Seung Gi was discharged on the … Continue reading →
A hearty thanks to Marie Claire Korea for orchestrating such a phenomenal fashion paired with movie spread for the November issue. The magazine brought together K-movie Glass Garden costars Moon Geun Young and Kim Tae Hoon for a pictorial and evokes 70’s era countryside suburbia. It’s like Ang Lee dropped in to use his auteur vision on two talented Korean … Continue reading →
There’s so much bad news, or at least it feels that way, so I appreciate low key sincere life living from a celebrity who could be as ostentatious as he wants. Top Hallyu actor Kim Soo Hyun enlisted for his mandatory military service today, with no publicity as his agency stated beforehand. He posted an SNS update to his fans … Continue reading →
Suits are one clothing style that I steadfastly believe classic is the best, any person looks good in a classic style suit that is well tailored and sized.
