Park Yoochun Tests Positive for Drugs in Police Investigation

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 23, 2019 by ockoalaApril 23, 2019
Two men, one speaking, one looking serious.

One does wonder why disgraced K-star Park Yoochun doth protest too much, even insofar as to hold a press conference tearfully proclaiming his innocence on drug use allegations. He of all people knew whether he used or not, and now he’s looking like a giant hypocrite liar on top of being an alleged drug user. Police have announced that Yoochun’s … Continue reading →

My attention is captivated 100% and loving every single picture in this just released Bazaar Korea pictorial featuring Song Hye Kyo and lots of pretty shoes and outfits. She’s clearly sporting extensions since in real life her hair is still shoulder length after lopping it off last year for tvN romance drama Encounter (Boyfriend) but the extra length and volume … Continue reading →

The drama casting agents are working overtime to land K-actor Ji Chang Wook and honestly I don’t blame them. He left for the military two years ago on a positive note with thriller drama The K2 and the cult hit Healer before that. He’s got the versatile repertoire of sageuk to family drama to action flick to melodrama and is … Continue reading →

The colors of spring are nicely represented at K-actress Park Shin Hye‘s event this weekend for Mamonde skincare. She’s been the face of the brand for many years and the youthful collection found a great spokeswoman in her. She’s lightened her hair color even more for the spring but keeping it the short bob she’s sported since February. It’s cute … Continue reading →

The upcoming saguel drama Asadal Chronicles may not foster second male lead syndrome as much as antagonist shipping syndrome.

A Koala's Playground Posted on April 21, 2019 by ockoalaApril 20, 2019
Man in a pinstripe suit sitting elegantly.

I think four months may just be the sufficient amount of time to get over hard loving and then hard hating a live watched drama experience. The feelings are so strong that the ending leaves an exhausted void and requires some distance to see if the opinions have changed after the initial rush. Objectively I still think Memories of Alhambra … Continue reading →

Man with stylish hair gestures confidently.

I feel like K-actor Joo Ji Hoon has been not just starring in multiple K-dramas in 2019 thus far he’s also prominent at many fashion events more often than not looking like fashion roadkill. It’s not just him, so many events lately yield really awkward looking PR shots and make me wonder if it’s worth the celebs attending if it … Continue reading →
