Song Hye Kyo Makes Maximum Statement in Minimalist Chaumet Jewelry

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

K-actress Song Hye Kyo is growing out her short bob hairstyle cut for the K-drama Encounter (Boyfriend) and it’s honestly one of her best looks with such fresh appeal. The long locks is very sexy and movie star but also a dime a dozen, she’s versatile and young enough to still experiment and I love this look on her like … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Apparently disgraced and likely criminally culpable K-singer Jung Joon Young had over 200,000 texts on his phone and had multiple phones, so the fallout will likely spread from the police investigation and retrieval of his communications. The next to fall is his 1N2D (1 Night, 2 Day) cast members actor Cha Tae Hyun and comedian Kim Jun Ho. Jung Joon Young’s … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

While K-ent is immolating from within this past week, K-actor Song Joong Ki was pretty darn far away doing his job out in Brunei filming the overseas location shoot portion of upcoming sageuk drama Asadal Chronicles. It looked quite rustic indeed as the production team snapped a group picture after wrap and everyone schlepped back to South Korea for more … Continue reading →

We’re probably close to one more K-pop idol leaving his group and “retiring” from the industry. CNBLUE‘s Lee Jong Hyun has admitted that he, too, viewed the hidden camera sex videos circulated by singer Jung Joon Young, and also that the horrible texts between the two discussing women as sex objects to be passed around were indeed from him.

Nam Joo Hyuk Matches at Dior Event and Accepts K-drama School Nurse Ahn Eun Young Opposite Jung Yumi

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I think it’s adorkable how fashionably goofy K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk looks at the Christian Dior event in Seoul. The two shirts layered on top of one another hastily buttoned, the wide waisted chinos turning into too short cuffed hems, finished off with dad sneakers. It’s like he hand picked the most random individual items from Dior like a kid … Continue reading →

Man, yet another singer/group I gotta delete off my playlist. In the last few years I’ve had to delete SS501, original DBSK, JYJ, and from this scandal Big Bang followed by FT Island, BEAST/Highlight, and now CNBLUE as well.

Yong Jun Hyung Admits to Viewing Jung Joon Young’s Hidden Sex Video and Leaves Idol Group Highlight

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

On one hand I am pleased he came clean but on the other hand oooof this one hurts because I really liked him and now he’s cancelled in my mind. Former Beast and now Highlight member Yong Jun Hyung, who I came across thanks to the K-drama Monstar years ago, was initially swept up in the Seungri/Jung Joon Young chatroom … Continue reading →

First Stills of Kim Jae Wook and Park Min Young in tvN Rom-com Her Private Life

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I’m probably inordinately excited for tvN rom-com Her Private Life but honestly it’s been awhile since I’m so genuinely stoked. Male lead Kim Jae Wook has never done a rom-com leading man role, despite kinda stealing half the show of Marry Stayed Out All Night even when I was an OTP stan in that drama. Park Min Young is on … Continue reading →

The latest bad acts stemming from Seungri’s noxious chatroom members Jung Joon Young and Choi Jung Hoon of FT … Continue reading →
