The cherry blossoms are blooming and what a beautiful season to hold a wedding. The Shilla Hotel in Seoul was the site of a star-studded celebrity wedding this weekend, the marriage of singer-actress Lee Jung Hyun to her non-celebrity husband. She’s been in the industry since the late 90’s but has a rather intermittent portfolio due to taking a long … Continue reading →
Two more 87-line K-actors are coming back, and hooboy this isn’t the best time to return to K-ent what with the fire power of scandal swirling around. Lee Min Ho and Ji Chang Wook enlisted within days of each other and both will be discharged at the end of April 2019. Ji Chang Wook served in the army performing arts … Continue reading →
The week marked the start of the end of the 30-year run Heisei era in Japan with the announcement of the next era name of Reiwa, with the current Emperor abdicating and passing the throne to the Crown Prince. Heisei was preceded by Showa which remains the longest era in Japanese history of 63 years. Still, 30 years is quite … Continue reading →
The Be Like Taecyeon model behavior in the army has it’s first successor. Actor-idol Yoon Doo Joon has been serving his military enlistment in army active duty since August 2018 when he was rather abruptly hauled off even before his drama shooting for Let’s Eat 3 wrapped. He’s been quietly and dutifully doing his civic duty and apparently quite well … Continue reading →
At this point basically any male star who is friends in real life with singer Jung Joon Young should just turn themselves in. The investigation into the sharing of hidden camera sex videos and pictures of women started by Jung Joon Young through various text chat groups has broadened to include singer Eddy Kim. He joins earlier this week reveal … Continue reading →
I envisioned an actual physical Abyss that would transform the visuals of the two leads in the upcoming tvN fantasy K-drama. Who figured it would instead be the Eye of Sauron in crystal ball form, contained easily in a wooden box. Man those humans, elves, and hobbits had it hard back then. The first teasers are out for Abyss and … Continue reading →
Screenwriter Baek Mi Kyung has an incredible track record so far and her next drama will take her to a new network and back to cable. She cemented her drama success with three jTBC dramas My Love Eun Dong, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and Women of Dignity. Then she moved to KBS with the critically acclaimed The Miracle We … Continue reading →
The slow and steady rise to top K-drama actor level for Park Seo Joon is the kind of classic work hard ethos that’s not as standard anymore. Nowadays idols pop up to headline a drama immediately or actors are tapped for breakout too early and miss the important experience building gradual leveling up. I remember when Park Seo Joon first … Continue reading →
I’m still interested in the former top C-actress Fan Bing Bing situation, for one she truly got to the top of a very competitive China market and she’s paid all her owed taxes for the tax evasion which wasn’t even about whether she was successful but merely that she kept more money than she should have. Even after paying millions … Continue reading →
The scent is quite fresh with the final casting of fantasy romance drama Perfume, after some bumps with the original names floated I quite like this unexpected quartet. Filming will commence shortly for the late spring 2019 K-drama Perfume so it’s a relief the confirmed cast came together so quickly after initial leads Eric and Go Jun Hee ended up … Continue reading →
Promos have kicked off for the K-version of Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi), quite a few years in the making with this adaptation punted around K-ent for some time. Yeo Jin Gu will get to bare his abs as the robot boyfriend, Minah as the female lead, and Hong Jong Hyun as the just as good human option for … Continue reading →
While I’m not fond of Park Min Young‘s entire outfit and look at the press conference for upcoming tvN Wed-Thurs drama Her Private Life, I’m loving how Kim Jae Wook matches with her so well imma give this whole shindig a thumbs up. The leads along with supporting male lead Ahn Bo Hyun attended the press conference today though the … Continue reading →
I’ve been charmed by Taecyeon ever since the big lunkhead barreled into the scene in Dream High and was as endearing a choice as the eventual male lead in that drama Kim Soo Hyun. His acting was sooooo stiff back then but he had so much earnest heart that reached through the screen, and since then he’s improved consistently as … Continue reading →
