Hwon has never forgotten Yeon Woo, and … Continue reading →
Han Hyo Joo channels old-school movie star glamour for the latest edition of Cosmopolitan Korea, an ingenue who has become a bona fide leading lady with dazzling screen presence. I don’t know how she does it, but her photo shoots have been across-the-board exceptional no matter what the concept calls for. I personally love these types of va-va-va-voom spreads, letting … Continue reading →
Instead of attending the myriad Lunar New Year programs he was invited to this week, Nicky Wu was in Paris attending Fashioin Week at the invitation of a bevy of fashion houses.

New year, new spokesperson for Basic House, the Korean casual chic brand. Last year the company paired up Moon Geun Young and Won Bin in one of the oddest pairings in recent memory.
