Nearby the police found the bodies of a woman and ten year old boy, later confirmed to … Continue reading →
Korean stars who marry non-celeb spouses tend to protect their privacy and not reveal their faces, unless said spouses were publicly known in other ways. That means weddings are shot by the media with just the star solo, and in releasing ceremony and reception pictures there has to be judicious cropping of the non-celeb spouses. Sometimes it looks weird but … Continue reading →
I love top star cameos in dramas. It’s super fast, no skin off anyone’s back, makes fans happy, and earns plenty of karma and kudos. There’s going to be a huge cameo coming up in hit cable drama Crash Landing on You with Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin, already headlining two A-list stars. Fellow A-lister Kim Soo Hyun will … Continue reading →

Okay this is a super weird maybe dating story but it’s even funnier because this January 1, 2020 didn’t come with super shocking dating news so this may make up for it. This weekend Park Bo Young is fending off dating rumors with her and veteran actor Park Hee Won. She’s 29 and he’s 48 and genuinely old enough to … Continue reading →
When I first saw the just released drama posters for upcoming tvN bittersweet family drama Hi Bye Mama! it just felt like woah such a HUGE face of leading lady Kim Tae Hee. Don’t get me wrong, she’s radiant and so beautiful after getting married and having two kids since her last drama Yongpal in 2015. It’s just that the … Continue reading →
While K-ent had a dating confirmation, J-ent went a different direction with the first big star news of 2020.

She had baby #2 with husband Rain last year and is ready to go back to work with tvN drama Hi Bye Mama lucking out with a great costar in Lee Kyu Hyung. She plays a devoted mom … Continue reading →
Alrighty, I appreciate the new year new vibes but it’s hilarious to see such contrasting drama posters. jTBC released official posters for Itaewon Class and all I can say is that two different set of graphic designers worked on the end product.
