Four Stylish Fashion Tastes of Ji Soo in K Wave Magazine

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 27, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 25, 2016
Man in tuxedo holding a glass of wine.

I still remember a year ago when Ji Soo was still a no name newbie before his breakout rookie performance in Angry Mom, back then finding pictorials of him was near impossible and definitely a rare treat. His meteoric rise this year has yielded a steady stream of fashion spreads whether in CFs or magazine stills, and invariably every single … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi Happy and Settled into Army Life in First Snap Since Enlistment

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 12, 2016 by ockoalaFebruary 11, 2016

I don’t think it’ll be all that hard to weather the period of 22 months with Lee Seung Gi off in the Korean army when the first snap of him shows how well he’s adjusting to life in uniform. Clearly serving military service is no easy task for any of the Korean enlisted men even if it’s a a mandatory … Continue reading →

Ji Soo is basically turning into not only a hot rising actor, he’s also racking up K-ent bromances onscreen and offscreen at a meteoric pace. First there was Angry Mom followed by Sassy Go Go, in both dramas he’s got a bromance thing going on, in AM with Ji Hyun Woo and later with Lee Won Geun in SGG. Next … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi Enlists for the Military with a Buzz Cut and a Smile

I’ve never found Lee Seung Gi conventionally handsome, even if I’m not applying the ridiculously high standards of K-ent when it comes to their stable of flower boy entertainers. But what makes him so attractive to me is his megawatt smile and onscreen charisma whether in dramas or variety, he just has that It Factor and a fun personality to … Continue reading →

Welcome back cutie pie! This will be a short post in words because there is only so much that needs to be said about Yoon Si Yoon honorably completing his mandatory two years of military service in South Korea. He served in the marines which is the hardest toughest unit of the military, and in doing so finished his service … Continue reading →

Major heartbreak alert! K-actor/singer/variety star Lee Seung Gi has just confirmed that he’s enlisting for his mandatory military service next month on February 1st. That’s not next month baby boy, that’s 10 days from now! Way to not give noona much notice to gird myself for the pain to come, which involves carefully saving all the Seung Gi dramas and … Continue reading →

While the doomsday clockĀ has started ticking on the late 86 and 87 Korean male stars slated to enlist for their mandatory military service, one silver lining that it’s already 2016 comes in the form of the impending military discharge of Yoon Si Yoon on January 27th. I can’t believe my baby boy has been in the military for almost two … Continue reading →

January 13th is my boy Lee Seung Gi‘s birthday, which makes the first birthday of a major Korean star in this new year 2016, and with it comes the reminder that it’s starting to go down to the wire for the end of the year 86ers and the huge batch of 87ers.

Jung Woo Sung is An Equal Opportunity Visual, Complementing Both Costars Jo In Sung and Kim Ha Neul

Whenever there is a viewer pollĀ on best looking K-movie star, A-list Korean actor Jung Woo Sung is invariably on it and in the top three ranking. He’s been the top visual in Korea for over twenty years ever since his Beat days, and being a rabid Jung Woo Sung fan (even if I don’t write about him all the time) … Continue reading →

Adorable Ji Soo Continues Making His Mark as a Rising Young Actor

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 28, 2015
Smiling person making heart gesture.

I think screenwriter Park Hye Ryun has a great eye for casing, with reportedly her getting lots of say in how her dramas are cast. I Hear Your Voice spawned the unlikely onscreen successful pairing of Lee Jong Seok and Lee Bo Young, and then Park Hye Ryun managed to do it again with Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong … Continue reading →

Lee Seung Gi Teases Upcoming GQ Korea Pictorial with Two Cute Stills From the Shoot

I haven’t see much of Lee Seung Gi in the media recently, likely because he’s filming the upcoming sageuk movie Marital Harmony with Shim Eun Kyung. If the story and directing is good then the movie is a likely hit since it has all the hallmarks to win the audience interest with popular leads and a cross-class border period romance. … Continue reading →

Beautiful Selina Jen Bravely Poses for Marie Claire Sans Makeup and Burn Scar Covering

Person with hands clasped, wearing sheer fabric.

I’m a firm believer in beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I merely state my personal perspective but never deride or dismiss anyone who sees it otherwise. Frankly the very act of watching onscreen entertainment is that every viewer sees things in his or her own light. With that said, the just released Marie Claire Taiwan pictorial … Continue reading →
