Kim Bum and Hwang Jung Eum Chosen as the Korean Ken and Barbie

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 18, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2010

If you asked me who the Korean Barbie and Ken are, I would have asked you: (1) why does the world need a Korean version of Barbie and Ken, and (2) would anyone consider it an honor to be dubbed the Korean Barbie and Ken? Mattel, the makers of Barbie and Ken, hosted an event in Seoul a few days … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 17, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 17, 2010

The Two Dancing Moon Geun Youngs

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 11, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 11, 2010

I remembered that Moon Geun Young has always been a good dancer (on par with Park Shin Hye, for an actress, that is). Which is why her kale bouquet worm wiggle dance in episode 8 of Mary Stayed Out All Night was that much more amusing. Presenting, side-by-side, video confirmation that the female Geun can bring it on the dance … Continue reading →

Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok Confirmed as Winners at the 2010 Yahoo Buzz Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 9, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 9, 2010

Finally! The controversy and conspiracy theories can be laid to rest now. Yahoo has investigated the allegations of voting discrepancies, and have discounted any votes from any suspicious IP address, which did not just appear in the votes for any one star but throughout the nominees pool. As a result, Yahoo released the definite and confirmed winners for its 2010 … Continue reading →

A Little Milestone – Let’s Share the Happy

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2010

I realized today that I’ve been blogging on AKP for exactly for six months. I started on June 8, and I took a look at the view count and realized that (holy mother of Zeus!) I am edging close to crossing the one million mark. While this is beyond any expectation of mine, since I had NONE to begin with, … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 4, 2010 by ockoalaDecember 4, 2010

Never underestimate the power of a hot star and his amazingly organized and powerful fan base. 2010’s Yahoo Buzz Awards, a fan-voted awards show (the very definition of a popularity contest), closed its voting three days ago. The winner of both the Top Buzz Male Korea Star Award and the Top Buzz Male Asia Star Award is Jang Geun Seok. … Continue reading →

So Ji Sub Pairs Up With Jung So Min for the Take Mobile MV

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2010 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2010

What did I say about our Min Min (Jung So Min)? Girl is going places, with talent, charm, and personality to spare. Min Min just got paired with So Ji Sub (gimme a second here, am hyperventilating – Min Min + Ji Sub = OMG imagine the fireworks) on his ad campaign for the Take mobile phone. Below is the … Continue reading →

Kim Bum and Lee Min Ho go for a Night Ride along the Han River

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2010 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2010

It’s no secret that Kim Bum and Lee Min Ho are BFFs (and together with Jung Il Woo – they are like the Three Musketeers of the younger acting generation). Turns out that the Han River at night is also a prime spot for celebrity sighting – both Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum tweeted a series of pictures of … Continue reading →

Jung So Min’s Photoshoot for Elle Girl

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 20, 2010 by ockoalaNovember 20, 2010

Our beautiful Min Min (Jung So Min) won our hearts and devotion forever as the bumbling, lovestruck, devoted, and determined Oh Ha Ni in Playful Kiss. But the real Min Min is nothing like Ha Ni, and more like her character in Bad Guy, the daughter of a well-to-do family, a ballerina by training, and talented beyond belief. When people … Continue reading →
