Official Promo Stills of Yamapi’s Recently Completed 2011 Solo Asian Tour

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 20, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 20, 2011

Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) wrapped up his ridiculously sold out four month long solo Asia tour at the end of May. Since I’m a very considerate noona I’ll let my Pi rest before kindly requesting he get his tush back into a drama, ASAP. Otherwise I’ll have to resort to actually finishing Code Blue, since there are only so many times I … Continue reading →

The Evolution of KimuTaku Through AnAn Magazine Covers

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 16, 2011 by ockoalaDecember 10, 2013

I recently came across a lovely compendium of all the AnAn Magazine covers that KimuTaku (Kimura Takuya) has ever graced. It perfectly encapsulates the Crown Prince of J-ent and his evolution from free love hippie boy toy to serious thespian goofy SMAP member. It’s incredible to consider his legacy and longevity in an industry that typically values the next-big-thing. Currently … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 14, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2011

On a special episode of SMAPxSMAP to be broadcast on July 18th, Jang Geun Seok will be a special guest on the show’s “Bistro SMAP” segment, cooking and goofing off with KimuTaku and co. A few K-stars have appeared on the show in the past, and it’s a testament to Jang Geun Seok’s sky-rocketing popularity in Japan that he gets … Continue reading →

2011 Mid-Year Roll Call: Who is In and Out of the Military

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 12, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 12, 2011

When I was watching episode 1 of Spy Myung Wol today, I noticed TPTB (The Powers That Be) not only made recently released from the military Eric do the obligatory shirtless shower scene, it also made him do an even more gratuitous swimming scene. All in the same episode. Considering second male lead Lee Jin Wook is also freshly six-packed … Continue reading →

Upbeat Spoilers for Lie to Me Plus Snippets of Kang Ji Hwan’s Interview for Cosmo Korea

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2011 by ockoalaJune 24, 2011

I feel like a bad mommy who force fed my kids bitter medicine (the Lie to Me written previews for the last two episodes) followed by a sweet candy chaser (the spoiler I’m about to bring you). Trust me when I say I’m suffering as much as all of you, and we’re all suffering as much as our howling Korean … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 19, 2011 by ockoalaJune 19, 2011

Kang Ji Hwan‘s fanclub recently visited the Lie to Me set and snapped some pictures with wuri Ki Joon and his underlings Park Hoon (Kwon Se In), Manager Park (Park Ji Yoon), as well as the PD. But where is wuri Jungie? I guess it’s okay they are not attached at the hip – based on spoiler pictures for the upcoming … Continue reading →

Baidu Opens a Couple Bar for Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2011 by ockoalaJune 17, 2011

Well, you know a new K-drama coupling is official when Baidu opens a bar for it. I haven’t seen a DC Kang Ji Hwan–Yoon Eun Hye gallery yet, but Baidu’s EunHwan bar (though I prefer to call my perfect couple HwanHye because I love alliteration) opened two days ago and already the goodies are starting to trickle out. Don’t get … Continue reading →

Gosh, it’s so nice to see my I Lub You. Psst, Woo Sung-oppa, I wasn’t contemplating cheating on you with Kang Ji Hwan. He belongs to Javabeans, and I of course am a three-man Koala.

Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min Attend Press Conference in Japan for Playful Kiss

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 6, 2011 by ockoalaApril 27, 2012

Now that’s more like it, kids! After holding a fan meeting for Playful Kiss in Japan, where Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min were adorable together but less touchy-feely than I would have liked, the two of them attended a press conference the day after to answer more PK-related questions for the Japanese media. All I know is that … Continue reading →

Yamapi Hits the Thailand Stop of his 2011 Solo Asia Tour

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 30, 2011 by ockoalaApril 29, 2011

I’m like a chipmunk, I can be busy doing someone important, but the second I sniff one of my obsessions, I immediately drop proper work like a hot potato and toddle off to happily waste time. Which was how I ended up spending an entire night happily watching Yamapi MVs and missing the Akira-incarnation of Pi like mad. Pi was … Continue reading →
