But this week as the two attended a Tencent … Continue reading →
This may be one of the most expected developments considering what has (or has not happened) since top actress Jeon Ji Hyun signed with her agency Ieum Hashtag in 2022 three years ago.

And yet it happened, this was one perplexing drama I could not … Continue reading →
