Part III of Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok in Summer’s Desire

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 25, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2011

I think both Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young are trying to kill me. Slowly. With their brand of potent onscreen chemistry and now their continued adorable wink-winks at each other. Jang Geun Seok posted an updated on his cyworld yesterday that started off with “A romance has started” and then followed by a “just kidding!”. You are such a … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki Posts Picture Updates on his Military Service

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 24, 2011

JUN KI! My Jun Ki tweeted and updated his cyworld yesterday. *cue Koala almost fainting from happiness* It’s insane how long it feels like he’s been gone, and yet he has over a year left in MS yet to go. Sobs, an entire legion of Jun Ki-fans the world over (I don’t have to tell you how many tickers I’ve … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2011

This comes as no surprise, but it’s still a treat to finally hear confirmation: actor Jang Geun Seok will be officially debuting as a singer this year. After months of speculation about the when, wheres, and hows, news reports in Japan have confirmed that Jang Geun Seok will be releasing his first solo album on March 23, 2011, and following that … Continue reading →

Fan-Fiction: When Kang Mu Gyul Met Hwang Tae Kyung

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 22, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 22, 2011

SO. ADORABLE. I spent this afternoon reading, with the world’s silliest grin on my face, a fan-fiction done by a Baidu netizen called Xiao Mao, who postulated what would happen if Kang Mu Gyul were to meet Hwang Tae Kyung and write songs for him to sing. Yup, the what-if story is pretty much as cute as the concept – … Continue reading →

Retrospective: Song Seung Heon and Kim Hyo Jin for Mind Bridge 2009 Collections

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2011

While going through my oppa files recently, I made a belated connection that the girl he was paired up with when he was the spokesperson for Mind Bridge, a Korean preppy clothing line, was actually Kim Hyo Jin! I was floored, because I found that model actress totally gorgeous and charming at that time. Which was NOT what I thought … Continue reading →

Part II of Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young in Summer’s Desire

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 21, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 21, 2011

I do like other actors other than Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok, I swear! Even though it doesn’t seem like it right now, but my My Princess recaps and soon-to-come-spazzing about Dream High should dispel any misconceptions about any inability on my part to let Mae Ri and Mu Gyul go and move on to other dramas and … Continue reading →

MV Mash-up: Two Geuns and A Baby

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2011

As promised, bringing you all a cute video for week’s end. It’s a mash-up of the Geun-Geuns from one of their earlier movies (and when I say earlier – I mean when both of them still had their baby fat). This MV comes courtesy of EJ from Stellar Fandom, who spliced together 18 year old Moon Geun Young from her … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young’s Basic House Ads Revealed in Stores

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2011

Additional pictures are beginning to come out from Moon Geun Young and Won Bin’s Basic House Spring 2011 ad campaign. Moon Geun Young looks the very definition of a “pretty baby” above, and I get the sense that the couple shots are going for more preppy and casual. However, Moon Geun Young’s individual shots below appear to channel flirty and … Continue reading →

A Look at Son Ye Jin’s Cameo on Secret Garden

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 20, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 20, 2011

The best part of the finale episode of Secret Garden for me was Son Ye Jin’s totally random but utterly adorable cameo. If this means she’s next on the hit list for a Kim Eun Sook drama, so be it. I keep reminding myself, I love City Hall, and enjoyed On Air. It can be a win-win situation. What was … Continue reading →

A Picture Homage to Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young in Summer’s Desire

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 18, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2011

The fabulous and talented zitalei (小蕾) at Baidu’s Moon Geun Young Bar is back with more delightful artwork to help recovering Geun-Geun addicts kick their habit. Yeah, good luck with your twelve-step program. Someone let me know when you check out of the Geun2 love hotel/happy loony bin. I’ll probably still be in there.

Retrospective: The Four Hallyu Kings in Tokyo 2009

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2011

This is just a four-hot-guys picspam post. Nobody has a problem with that, right? When I read the news in the paper, sometime around November of 2009, that Lee Byung Hun, Jang Dong Gun, Song Seung Heon, and Won Bin, were going to hold fan-meeting/concerts in Tokyo in December of that same year, I had to rub my eyes to … Continue reading →

KBS to Release Photo Essay Book for Mary Stayed Out All Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2011

KBS will soon release the Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) photo essay, a collection of photographs from the drama that chronicle the love story of Mae Ri and Mu Gyul. (Again, what was it the new writer tried to do? Oh yes, attempt to kill off Mu Gyul in episode 15. I never get tired of saying it … Continue reading →

Yamapi’s Drops His Latest Single “Hadakanbo”

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2011 by ockoalaJanuary 17, 2011

A big thank you to @Anona for alerting to Yamapi‘s latest single dropping its PV. The song is called “Hadakanbo” (which means naked baby), and has a very Big Band crossed with J-pop vibe. In the video, Pi wears a sequined pink suit, sings for a Twenties-era speakeasy, and does other assorted lounge-esque escapades. He also dons all black with … Continue reading →
