Kim Soo Hyun More Mature Than Ever in New Ziozia Ad Campaign

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 18, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 17, 2017
Young man in stylish coat poses outdoors.

There seems to be noticeable maturing with Kim Soo Hyun that I’ve not seen in the past few years when he seems to be stuck preternaturally in that young man on the cusp of full maturity handsomeness. He seemed too young as the alien professor in You From Another Star and the perfect casting for the newbie producer in Producers, … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Does Mussed Hair Pretty in New Marie Claire Jewelry Pictorial

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 18, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2017
Portrait of a woman with tousled hair.

It’s clearly not hard being Park Shin Hye, though she works hard as heck at her entertainment career which shows no signs of hitting any peak. The new pictorial for Marie Claire March edition is in collaboration with the jewelry brand Swarovski which Park Shin Hye has repped for a few years now. It’s one of the best pairings out there as … Continue reading →

Spring Casual as Modeled by Song Joong Ki is a Valentine’s Treat for Fans

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 15, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 14, 2017
Person sitting pensively against a wall.

A new Song Joong Ki pictorial that drops on Valentine’s Day feels intentional but wholly appreciated. He’s basically stormed to the top of the popularity charts last year in 2016 thanks to playing the dreamboat perfect boyfriend character in Descendants of the Sun. He is charming and funny, and can shoot bad guys on a dime and jump off airplanes … Continue reading →

There’s someone for everyone and that goes for dream dates as well as real ones. A recent poll on Korea asked thousands of women who they wanted to go on a Valentine’s Day date with and the results match the current It Men dominating the popularity polls. Leading the way was the lonely and shining goblin himself Gong Yoo, with … Continue reading →

Suzy Goes Conservative School Girl at Fan Meeting for Solo Album

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 13, 2017 by ockoalaFebruary 11, 2017
Young woman with long, flowing hair.

It’s mostly a miss for for me in overall look that Suzy sported for her solo album fan meeting this week in Seoul. Her hair looks awkwardly mussed and the black and white Catholic school uniform with Mary Janes dulls her down considerably. What is interesting is how much she resembles a cross between IU and Han Hyo Joo in … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun Low Key in 2016 With Thriller Movie Real Completed for Release in 2017

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 29, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 29, 2017

I can’t believe the time has come for me to want Kim Soo Hyun show up more in the media. He’s still plenty visible but the past year has seen a noticeable drop in his public appearances, pictorials, and endorsement campaigns. It’s clearly intentional as he’s still one of the most well known and popular Korean actors, but he had … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Pretty as a Picture at Bruno Magli Event

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2017

Pretty Park Shin Hye out and about is always a welcome treat for me. She made an appearance this past week at the Bruno Magli event in Seoul for the brand that she’s repped the accessories line for many years now. Initially her style seemed too youthful a fit with the traditional stylings of the brand but she’s been gravitating … Continue reading →

Song Joong Ki Makes Casual Sportswear Look Chic in New Top Ten CF

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 13, 2017

I’m glad Descendants of the Sun aired super early in 2016 because it’s given Song Joong Ki the entire year to bask in the new level of popularity. I wouldn’t have it any other way, sure he’s an extremely talented actor and the role that rocketed him to super stardom was more dishy than substantive, but now he’ll have a … Continue reading →

Young woman posing with Jarmy Entertainment branding.

The new year 2017 has settled in now for two weeks and things appear to be off to a stable start. For once Dispatch didn’t break a major couple dating news on New Year’s Day, and so far no scandals to speak of other than an attention craving former idol spamming her SNS to annoy fuddy duddy Koreans and maybe … Continue reading →

With so Taiwanese actresses married off just in the last six months alone, the media interest into singer-actress Rainie Yang‘s love life has understandably intensified. The new year 2017 has brought Rainie out to a CF event debuting yet another new hair look. Gone is the beautiful purple hue from last summer during her album promotions, and the growing out … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki Appears as Surprise Guest at IU’s Taipei Concert and Re-enacts Rain and Cape Scene from Moon Lovers

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 7, 2017 by ockoalaJanuary 8, 2017

I love Lee Jun Ki so much that I’ll even accept his triggering of a memory I desperately want to forgot. Lee Jun Ki was in Taiwan over the weekend and showed up as a surprise guest at IU‘s concert in Taipei. This reunion of the Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo OTP generated the opposite of squees from me in … Continue reading →

Yoo Seung Ho Displays His Mature Charms for The Star Pictorial

I’ll take one Christmas wrapped Yoo Seung Ho please, and if I can’t then these summer pictures from The Star pictorial will do. 2016 was a solid year for Yoo Seung Ho, the second full year since his military discharge at the end of 2014. This year he started off with SBS drama Remember: Son’s War, in the middle of … Continue reading →

Elle Korea Showcases the Modern and Magnetic Lee Jun Ki

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 24, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2016
Profile of a man in front of neon lights.

It’s pretty ironic to have a career resurgence and breakthrough on a near universally panned drama. But that’s the case with Lee Jun Ki as the sole survivor and conqueror of the hot mess that was the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Even one of my fave PDs in Kim Kyu Tae failed miserably in directing the drama, and … Continue reading →
